What I liked

I really enjoyed the humor of this play. I found many pieces throughout to be relatable as a human in this wild, wild world. Joshua Whitehorn has an incredible performance as the lead of his own tightly written script. This production could fall apart at the seems if not for the chemistry and commitment of the ensemble around him.

What I didn't like

The only thing would be possibly more time with certain characters, such as the father or Miss Honey.

My overall impression

The mix of dark humor and absurdity worked very well and didn’t take away from the overall emotion of the main character’s journey. Great direction from Donny Dahlman. His blocking and experimental movement gives an interesting twist to this already out-there idea. Joshua Whitehorn’s script is a reflection of the modern we live in. This play feels relatable to many different types of people, but you can tell it also very personal to Joshua.
