“
Thoroughly this brief peek into the lives of parade balloons that's also a meditation on legacy and tradition. ”

A sweet and funny look at what it means to be irrelevant and on which traditions we keep and why. ”

I anthropomorphize things. A lot. So this brilliant play about three Macy's Parade balloons was an instant yes, and it lived up to all my expectations. An inventive and funny take on the fleeting nature of celebrity/popularity, our increasing disregard for tradition, and the passing of the torch. Sparing and sparkling dialogue between the very distinct characters moves the action along swiftly (with some laugh-out-loud lines) but I'll remember this piece for quite a while. ”
