A quietly crushing play. There is a looming dread that hovers over this piece as the characters slowly realize the truth of their situation. It's a piece exploring who gets to be seen & heard and the impact of living in an ableist society where anyone who is different contends with feeling like an outsider - sometimes even in their own families. It centers the bravery of striving for change and standing in your own power.

I just read "The Wonderful Our There" by Dave Osmundsen and I am devastated. This play tore at my soul and I sobbed as I read it. I could not stop reading. Beautiful and heartbreaking. A brilliant play.

A powerful piece that explores dark truths about children who are forced to confront the ways those who ostensibly cared about them ultimately betrayed or failed them. To reveal more plotwise is to ruin a great bit of the play's impact. I will just share that the characters are all amazingly unique and impeccably drawn and the fantastical/dreamlike/surreal elements help tackle the subject matter in a fitting, poignant manner. Amazing world building and I loved the meditative pacing!
