    Here's what audiences have had to say:

    “I was blown away. If you’re looking for a Christmas show that goes beyond the usual smarmy fare but that still leaves you with a warm holiday glow, then this is the show for you!”

    “It was so real and right, it was completely amazing. It didn’t feel like a performance at all…it was funny, touching, and a little cleansing.”

    “Fantastic dialogue that twisted the one-man-show in on itself!”

    “You need to make time to see this incredible show!”

    “The perfect mixture of original and classic material!”

    “ This is not a comfortable play. It is not a play with easy answers or the "right" perspective on a difficult subject. It is a play that paints a picture about the brokenness of our world, even as it tells the story of 3 young people struggling to understand how to deal with their desire and the way our society expects them to manifest it. Even though there are only 3 characters, there are many more perspectives in this play, because each character is wrestling with themselves throughout it, just as we are left wrestling at the end." ”

    “ My favorite plays are about the messiness of life, and this play captures that in a completely unexpected and somewhat uncomfortable way. I know people like Luke and Chloe (separately, not together), people who crave connection and relationship and so end up looking for it in the wrong places. I love the care with which Bublitz writes these characters, giving them dimension beyond their inappropriate relationship, helping us understand not only what is going on between them, but *why* this was ever the answer to their loneliness. ”

    “ I had the privilege of directing this play in 2017 after falling in love with it years earlier under its first name. I absolutely loved directing it because at its core lies an impossibly deep well of imagination. It is, like so many of the best fables, folktales, and children's books (the work of Roald Dahl comes to mind) intense and painful at times, but ultimately hopeful and resonant. Rachel is not afraid to take her main character into the depths, and as a result the great heights to which she soars feel even higher. ”
