    A 100% true story made with at least 50% fake information. Zack (and The Meaningful Action Theatre Company) have stitched together a play that is a celebration of not only Chester Greenwood Day, but of community, small towns, and theater itself! Leaves you with a warm feeling inside, like a hash brown tucked into a breakfast sandwich. Reminds you that if you love something, you work for it. You fight for it. You should be paid for it.

    Also every character is great, but Brett Crum is best boy.

    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.
