Creative, snarky, current, snappy, revealing and poignant great glimpse into the dilemmas of the 20something world. They are thinking, feeling and working so hard. An impressive and genuine cast. Refreshing to hear the minds of guys as well as "gurls" (ha!). Excellent opening night; great direction and a wonderful script. A must see, it will only get better and better!... full review

If you are in your 20s, working and living in LA, you are bound to connect with this play. Whether you know someone like the group of friends in the show or whether your group of friends is exactly like them you are bound to get a few giggles, "its funny because its true". The play touches on a deeper level by sandwiching the laughs with some thought provoking monologues. ... full review

Some really great unknown actors shine in this modern comedy. Has a fresh feel of the show "Friends" mixed with some very relatable heartfelt issues. This shows the strength of acting in LA theatre. ... full review

I feel like this play could have really benefited from a more seasoned director and a workshop. The script could've been edited down, or maybe it was the actors' rapid-fire speech that made it seem like they were trying to race through too much script. Whatever it may be, I think there is a lot of potential in the script and in the actors, but the poor direction really did not cast either in a good light. ... full review

I saw SOHCAHTOA last night and loved it! Very witty dialogue that is right on for Twentysomethings. The monologues were really moving, and Jamie gives a great performance. Taylor Allyn is hilarious. Awesome play from a first-time playwright. Go see it if you can!... full review

This was a show I decided to go to after realizing that I hadn't heard about it. I am glad I did because this show had heart and potential regardless of the directors missteps. One of the missteps was the clumsy scene changes and the inability to inform the actors that when the lights are not on them they are not"on" and to be careful to not steal focus. But other than that this is a show that speaks on this romantic idea of coming to the city of angels. Very much of the monologues were inner thoughts I have had many times. The two male actors, Grayson Wittenbarger and David Fein turn in real and true performances to note. While Tay Allyn as April steal the show with her honest and ditsy performance as April. This is a show worth seeing if... full review

The writing was awesome. Lots of witty dialogue that had me laughing seconds after I processed it. Smart with lots of touching moments. Cool commentary on current 20 somethings. Really enjoyed the performances of all of the actors. Each had a shining moment. Would definitely recommend.... full review

More suited to being a short film or web series. Aside from a few nice moments during monologues, the script was cliched and uninventive, demoting the cares of twenty somethings to drinking, dieting and hooking up.... full review

Really fun! Fun characters, fun scenarios. I had a hard time sympathizing the two love-birds - the show pokes fun at people with unrealistic expectations yet the characters demand our sympathy ... kind of tough for me defend. The most sympathetic character, played by Tay Allyn, takes the most shit from the other characters. Well directed, well acted, I just wish the characters treated each other better, or that there was better justification or a bigger payoff for watching these characters ridicule each other. Great performance by ... darn, wish the actors and characters' names were on here ... the friend in the cut-off shorts. This actress had a very strong and natural performance. I just don't believe her character would take Lucy i... full review
