    A gonzo comedic riff on documentary theatre, with a genuine message at its core about finding purpose in small things that may not ultimately matter – be it theatre or earmuffs. Balancing two portraits of communities making something from nothing, Peercy's script is a feast for any ensemble of actors, with jokes that come so fast you won't realize how deep they cut until a page later.

    "MUFFED..." utterly brims with charm and wholesomeness. A heartfelt snapshot of a quirky small town community, sprinkled generously on top with sharp meta commentary that any storefront theater company member will appreciate. This play has all the essence of a hearty belly laugh followed by a warm hug. Comes with the highest of recommendations.

    “Muffed” is “Northern Exposure” meets “Waiting For Guffman” (with a touch of “Schitt’s Creek”) Whip-smart but with a heart of gold, this play is a delight. And smorgasbord of material for comic actors! Highly recommended
