    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

    An inventive, hilarious portrait of a small town theater company battling the most eccentric of forces as they interview community residents and attempt to devise a piece celebrating the local (and real!) small town hero Chester Greenwood, inventor of the earmuff--- "an innovation just in the periphery of what's important, that takes someone truly special to show us how necessary it was." MUFFED is an affectionate send-up of the obsessions that drive individuals and bind together communities.

    Well this play is delightful and thoughtful in the best ways possible. A little mystery, a little supernatural, a lot of small town politics and characters, and a pragmatic indictment of theatre company's and the stipends they pay, "Muffed..." is a masterful work. Peercy plays with tropes and cliches in a genuine way that lends an authenticity to the storytelling. The weaving of narratives is superb. I think any company would have the best time putting this show up and it really deserves it.
