"I hope that I will eventually be able to experience a full production of HICCUPS, with audio and visual effects and a theater full of resonant viewers — viewers who will assure you (of this, if nothing else) that OCD is the psychological epidemic of our age. HICCUPS contains the best of what theater can offer — a story of Everyman/woman, told in the voices of very specific men and women." -Barbara Hort (Licensed Psychologist and Theatre Professional)
