    In The Whole History of Hi-Q is a sharp, comedic take on high school rivalry and misplaced pride. Vince Gatton nails the humor and frustration of a pompous trivia nerd, Tommy, who can't see his own flaws. A perfect piece for students to explore arrogance and growth. Hilarious and insightful!

    We've all known someone that was so certain of their intelligence that they spoke pompously while misusing the big words they threw around like weapons. If we haven't met them in person, they are everywhere on social media. But in Hi-Q, intelligence IS everything. And arrogance will destroy you. Tommy is a frustrating yet hilarious character. Great roles for student performers.

    A short but excellent tale of a sinking ship. In Tommy, Gatton has written a perfect depiction of willful ignorance. It's not that he isn't smart enough to see his own faults. He's merely unwilling, choosing to foist blame onto others. In the end, the captain does indeed go down with the ship. Well done!
