    Omg, this play starts of like a drama, but suddenly becomes an over the top dark comedy and I am here for it! This is just so weird and funny and with a powerful message. Or messages? Can't forget how important it is to have a homosexual to dress you for all of your important church events!

    I love this play. Donley takes an angst ridden situation and turns into a hilarious dark comedy. It's full of surprises and has 4 great roles. Please produce this now!

    Good thing I wasn't drinking while reading, because this play would have prompted more than one spit-take from laughter and oh-no-you-didn't moments. Ian Donley ups the ante in this fresh take on a coming out tale by weaving a satisfying karmic tapestry with comeuppance as the red thread that ties everything up with a nice little bow.
