Smith takes us on a harrowing, heartbreaking, and hilarious journey that is riddled with moments of sheer joy and poetry. Mental hygiene is a contact sport; wear a helmet.

Ms. O'Neill-Butler's dialogue is simple yet devastating and reminds us strangers are people too. A slow burn that takes the time it needs to unwrap the vulnerabilities of it's characters leading to a wholesome payoff.

This play is ridiculous in all the best ways possible. From the Steinbeck callback to the Gundam bursting through the wall, I was smiling ear to ear the entire time I spent reading this. If you read this in a public space be warned you will laugh loudly.

Diaz-Marcano has done what so many of us strive to do and that is to take the blood and suffering of our people and turn it into something beautiful, poetic, and somehow funny. No matter our circumstances there are a rainbow of emotions at play and this story doesn't allow a single color to go to waste.

Aside from being timely, poignant, hysterical, and absurdly well-written, this piece is utterly fearless in its staging and makes no apologies for the world it demands. Truly inspiring!

A wonderful ensemble piece that recognizes the value of character and word economy. This thing is a giant but goes by super quickly thanks to the nimble dialogue and expert pacing. Becca uses the space she's given herself to tackle a multitude of issues with tact and sensitivity, never allowing them to overshadow one another.
