    In this play, Reid asks the really hard question - not will I be gay or will I be Orthodox, but how can I be gay AND Orthodox. That’s a 21st Century question.

    This play rocks. Like, it rocks so hard. Reid’s created a world that effortlessly flits between stage & screen & drag & not-drag that hit my heart in places I wasn't expecting. The storytelling and thematic wordplay is so, so strong. It’s also incredibly funny and written with a really specific wittiness that makes you immediately fall in love with the characters. Additionally, there are opportunities for some really joyful, rich moments of drag performance. And honestly there's this extended theatrical moment at the end of the play that in my opinion would be worth the price of admission alone.

    A story that insightfully depicts how the idea of transition exists in both nuanced and literal ways; within an individual, a relationship, and culture. Megan confidently uses clever staging devices throughout. Fun to watch their lead character thinking aloud, not just to herself, but as an obstacle to even hold a conversation.
