What I liked
Teolindo has a brilliant voice and presence. The writing is grounded, yet can revel in moments of absurdity and archetype, and the play back and forth between the two characters (who are so distinct from one another) is a marvel! The lighting, direction, music, and transitions… All so clear, all adding up to more than the sum of their parts. You can tell they are having so much fun and it is infectious. And the final moment of growth Russ shares at the end had me choking up. An absolute must-see!
What I didn't like
Not a fucking thing.
My overall impression
Deserving of consideration for Top of Fringe. It’s so funny, tragic, and hopeful. Such an incredible and vulnerable exploration of dating while trans so perfectly personified through the contrasting characters of Kara (a cis white woman and dating advice columnist) and Russ (he/they) (a chronically ill, chronically single, Filipino/Dominican, Nonbinary, Bi guy.
