The Continued Adventures of Super Dan and Super Kelli

TEN-MINUTE: When Dan was a kid, he drew fantastical comics about himself and his peers-- most notably his crush, Kelli. Now they're grownups, and they seem to be inside one of Dan's old comics, and it's all really weird but Kelli has got things she's got to do.

    Oh wow! This is such an exciting and fun short piece! I am fully invested in these characters and it leaves me wanting more! Continue the adventures! But I also fully respect this as a turning point snapshot moment for Super Dan in his crazy childhood world. I also adore the Narrator!

    A hilarious comedy where you're trapped inside a comic book, wondering how you got there and what on earth is going on! A play about adventures and adulthood. Well done.

    Oh, I love this play. Inventive and fresh, and totally relatable, too. There's a cartoony quality to the aesthetic, in the best way, a Pop-Art pretending, like we've jumped into a new world, a world of make-believe, a past idea of the future. There's a lot to mine her, about caregiving, and remembering that underneath the valiant work of looking after others, we have to try to care for ourselves. A charming, relevant piece, great fun for performers and audience alike.
