“
A revealing coming of age tale that captures the journey honestly. Well done. ”

This piece uses line breaks in a truly wonderful way, capturing a somewhat lyrical, but also natural rhythm of speech effortlessly. I also loved the amplified and heightened world of the piece. While high school coming of age stories tend to be full of oft-used tropes, the characters rendered here were recognizable, but also fresh, unique, and distinct. This piece captures with theatricality, music, and rhythm what disingenuous teen movies fail to capture onscreen. Wonderful on the page, and would be even more kinetic onstage! ”

The definitive high school coming of age play. Highly recommended. ”
