    “ This short play is innovative -- a great example of how to integrate technology and solo performance. The story feels honest and vulnerable and incredibly brave. It's a confession and a little slice of life. ”

    “ A truly disarming piece which effectively through form and content speaks to the weirdness of being on the internet in the early aughts and how the quickly changing nature of online culture and our own selves can come back to haunt us. ”

    “ This play is so deeply accurate as to what it is to be a teen online and only gets more relevant with time. Had the pleasure of seeing Charlie himself perform it and it is really a joy to watch. ”
