    This would be an incredible string to any actors bow to pull off! Jarred creates an intrieguing piece of theatre where characters an audience will be drawn in by tell stories that will captivate and tug at the heart strings. Its a piece that isn't afraid to look at topics and make the audience see them too, that I believe makes it a very important piece, not to mention being very well written!

    This monologue play is such a great piece for an actor, but the stories that intertwine are so engaging and intriguing. I absolutely gasped at the end of Seth's tale! This would be a marvel to watch from the audience and quite a workout for an actor! An intimidating and inspiring piece to behold!
