“ This play reminds me of a quote from Roddy Piper: "Just when you think you have all the answers, I change the question!" From the first moment, the answer to why these two characters are where they are evokes a sense of dread. Then, after the reveal of what happened, Prillaman utilizes his strong character writing to create authentic twists and turns. This feels like a lens into the immature and often cruel psyche of young adulthood. These characters are authentic and likable while still acting foul to each other. This scene will stick with me for a bit! ”

“ This is a play that feels increasingly prescient as more LGBTQ+ hate permeates American culture. A gutting dystopian play with expert precision, "Appetizers" races toward tragedy. The expository information is communicated seamlessly, tying in effortlessly with the forward motion of the plot. These 4 characters all experience a relatable internal push and pull, as the mask of heteronormativity cracks under the pressure of its own falsehood. The internal struggle of all 4 characters speaks eloquently to the experience of being told an aspect of identity is "wrong." An excellent satire of modern America. ”
