I truly commend this production for being completely honest and brave at every step of the performance. As a therapist myself I know how difficult it is to talk about mental health in such a vulnerable way, exposing the deepest and most personal struggles that we experience in the mind. It's so tempting to keep these struggles inside for no one to ever know about them, but as this show beautifully articulates, the pain usually stays within us for a long time until we finally release it. I highly ... full review

A unique production that humanistically captures the voice of a profession that we rarely get to hear in an authentic and empathetic manner in American society. There were some exciting concepts explored throughout the production that was thought-provoking and inspired interesting thoughts within me. Melissa is a talented performer, and I appreciate the level of courage she brought to the role. In a sea of many one-person shows at the Hollywood fringe, this play certainly stands out. ... full review

I felt so deeply connected to these young men and their stories, knowing that they represent something far greater than just the individual experiences of their characters, but authentically capturing the tragedy of the loss of innocence for these people who served in the Vietnam War. I deeply appreciated the skillful balance of comedy and devastating drama throughout the piece. It was so much fun to watch... full review

This was a wild show! I've seen many sketch comedy shows, and they have a tendency to blend together perhaps at times playing it safe and going with the general vibe of what a sketch comedy show “is”…this show is the exact opposite of all that. There were many moments when my mouth was a gape because the content was so innovative and unusual. I appreciate how the cast had a total willingness to put themselves out there, both emotionally, and at many points, physically, with some wonderful moments... full review

I was very surprised by how dynamic and captivating this play was. In its short runtime, it manages to provide incredibly rich characters and storylines. All 4 characters were deeply likable, and the entire audience was clearly rooting for their success throughout the performance, a testament to the strong writing and charismatic acting from the entire cast. This play was hilarious at times, particularly in the use of effective running jokes that became funnier with each repetition. There were al... full review

Wow. I was very impressed with this innovative production. It's impossible to talk about this thrilling play without heavily spoiling some key details about the story, but I can promise you that you will be surprised by the incredible twists and turns that this play takes you on throughout its journey. The play had a lovely balance of tense drama and comedy, all of this under the umbrella of the very important topics that the play tackles courageously. I have seen many plays that try and tackle g... full review
