What I liked

The storyline developed very well throughout the show, the pacing was incredibly well thought out. I liked that it was equal parts drama, and comedy.

What I didn't like

The acoustics of the venue were not great. It was a bit tough to hear a few of the actors. Also, you could hear some plumbing (running water) in the back of the theatre at the end of the show. I felt the show would’ve benefitted with some set pieces and decorations.

My overall impression

Very well rounded dramedy about relevant issues facing teens of this generation. The story had many layers, and I was amazed to find out the script was written entirely by the cast. It was equally morose, and uplifting, I laughed out loud numerous times. I would recommend this show to anyone who has ever been a teenager.
