    Oh boy howdy, this is an excellent piece of Sam Shepard-esq theater. This play uncovers the dark scars of youth and coming of age in a broken family structure as the wills and strong desires of others manipulate Kim’s world. Andy Boyd brilliantly examines choice and coming of age through a distorted lens.
