The culture clash of worlds and words brings to light the best and worst of what 2020 has had to offer. This hilarious, sweet and somber play is a comforting salve for a crap year.

    "Sweet and nostalgic as butter cookies, personal, hilarious, and moving, Strange, But Perfect is a love letter to the bruised and confused 2020 hearts in us all."
