The community of national & local readers for the Bay Area Playwrights Festival in 2021 enthusiastically recommends WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS? as a Semi-Finalist at Playwrights Foundation out of 755 plays. We highly enjoyed this comedy (which is much needed right now!) and found it to be relatable to anyone who has worked customer service jobs. We were compelled by this play's promise centering global majority and LGBTQIA+ characters pushing back on white privilege. We hope this play is widely read, finds dedicated collaborators, and moves swiftly towards production. #BAPF2021

Hilarious and painfully real. This play needs to be on stage soon and often!!

Why Are You Like This? is bitingly funny. Sartre said Hell is other people and Bohannon proves it once again. I found myself laughing, cackling out loud while also recognizing myself in the situation. This is such an honest takedown of what it means to work in customer service. Underneath the humorous and sometimes absurd customer interactions we are met with folks swallowing their pride and dignity to survive in a world that doesn't respect their humanity who have to do so with a smile. Crack this play open along with your favorite beverage and get ready to laugh.
