In a lesser playwright's hands, this would simply be a high school dramedy pastiche about a lie that goes too far. Bailey Jordan Garcia's sharp insight and soulful characters elevate this into a riveting exploration of identity and sexuality, and the ways that technology amplify our deepest desires and our darkest secrets. A brilliant play that is ready as-is for full production.

Really funny and experimental. Part Kurosawa biopic, part semi-autobiography, part rhapsody on the marvels of yogurt, Izumi creates a play that is intricately constructed, with the zany uncertainty of an improv comedy. This must be incredible to watch onstage.

An intelligent, poignant, and at times hilarious exploration of art, fame, and sisterhood. Barr really shows off their talent for rich and likable (even in their moments of un-likability) characters, creating three incredibly exciting opportunities for the actors playing Quinlyn, Gabby, and Olive.

Revisiting this play in light of Mamet falling down the Fox News rabbit hole, and I was delighted to see there's a new version. It flows better than the earlier draft, but still has the subversive edge that made me fall in love with this play 3 years ago. A perfect companion piece for any theatre to put on alongside a Mamet play (or better yet, instead of).

A comedy until it isn't, in the best way possible. Jack is incredibly talented at writing meaningful, clever, plot-moving dialogue. He never wastes a word, and you want to relish every one.
