This show moved me on so many levels. It is raw. There were moments of joy, sadness, discomfort, etc... all things we experience on a daily basis. The delivery was great from each actor. ... full review

The ripple effects of art and science are always worth a second, third and fourth glance, because so much changes upon subsequent reflections. This group deserves more resources. I look forward to what's next.... full review
