    Six Hours to Sober is a hilarious and heartfelt coming-of-age comedy with a perfect mix of youthful rebellion and absurdity. Nathan’s frantic preparations for his father’s wrath, with some dubious advice from friends, make for a fun ride. A great pick for young performers and audiences alike!

    A romp of a play that's sure to bring entertainment to people of all ages, and perfect for those that enjoy coming-of-age comedies. I was lucky enough to see this play be born from the ground up, and what a long way it's come! Great play for young adults to perform.
