A Funeral at the Peanut Patch

What an incredible show! Hilarious, warm, and incredibly profound. The performers are wonderful with incredible comedic timing, and the script sings with interesting perspectives on environmentalism, grief, generational trauma, and love. ... full review

A thoughtful and fun sibling rivalry/revelry piece that does a masterful job crafting opposite journeys and growth between siblings, one responsible and holding up the world, and one who needs an anchor... and a phenomenal job finding their balance and understanding.... full review

I knew that a show from the mind of Spencer Wright was going to make me cry with laughter and challenge my perspective in a new way; but I was not prepared for the professionalism and polish the cast and crew brought to this performance! If you are local to LA or making a trip out for the Fringe Festival, A Funeral at the Peanut Patch is a must see!... full review

This show was thoughtful, creative, and hilarious. Both actors brought such a lively energy to their performances and I absolutely loved the interplay with the puppet Opossum “Gusth”. The writing was sharp and emotional, gifting the show some really memorable moments... full review

Absolutely stunning production. Knowing how little time there is to set-up/strike, getting everything up and running in such a short amount of time makes the show that much more impressive. The story felt universally relatable, but also held such a specific dynamic that really pulled the show together.... full review

This play is a well acted family drama involving talking roadkill and peanuts. I found myself enchanted by the lead characters bickering and quippy dialogue. And the possum puppet (Gus) added some charm to the story that i wish he appeared in more scenes. Overall if you’re looking for a good play to turn your brain off this is the one. ... full review

It's not every day that merch captures my feelings towards a show, but in the words of A Funeral at the Peanut Patch, I am definitely Nutz 4 Nutz! This show is a clever, original serio-comedy about siblings and their peanut farm. Add in the poignant issue about how humans are taking over animals' homes/lands and there you have it: a two-hander with a real message. As for the messenger, well, hands up (er, hats off) to Gus(th). ... full review
