Very enjoyable and engaging play! Well written, directed and performed. The story moved at a steady pace holding my interest throughout and the audience was very receptive as well. Sort of a “Black Mirror”/romantic comedy with some thought provoking moments throughout. ... full review

Very good show - intelligent and thought provoking.... full review

Smart, prescient, and thought-provoking. The writer confronts the billion lb. elephant in the room; human creativity as we stand upon the ledge of AI's abyss. He captures (in what I figure to be a highly meta moment) the issue at the forefront of all creators' minds at this inflection point in history.... full review

If “M3GAN” were a gay rom-com, it would be “Sentience.” C. Jay Cox has written a tight, brilliant show that sheds light on the nuances and complexities of humans working with machines in 2025.

I loved this play. It was not what I expected. It was actually better than what I’d imagined. It wasn’t the usual trite artificial intelligence story. I found it to be compelling and I was unsure of how it was going to end. I like when I can’t totally predict the end of a story. Performances were great and the theater is so intimate that you feel almost part of the performance. Small Theater is a double edged sword in that when it’s a small venue and you love it, you feel even more engrossed. But when the theater is small and you don’t like the play, it’s hard to run it. In this case, it turned out well. I love small theater in Los Angeles because sometimes it can be surprisingly good which is really fun but often times it can be horrifica... full review

This play is highly entertaining and very smart.... full review
