    I really love plays about the bonds that are formed by working-class people that only know each other from their job. This is such an absurd play where characters repeat themselves and don't always make sense. These characters are so fun and I hope they all find the life they were meant for. A set designer could have a lot of fun with this play. Declet has a real gift with dialogue in this play. I could listen to these characters talk forever. I really hope this play gets a production soon

    A beautiful script filled with realistic and lovable characters, fantastic dialogue and a balance of hope and melancholy. A story that centers on the tiny alcoves of community in a dying profession - New Jersey gas station attendants - highlights hope in other people and the importance of human connection. The images created and thoughts discussed show why theater is still the number one option for audiences to come together for storytelling. I highly recommend.
