What I liked

I liked how specific each of the characters were that he portrayed – his mom, his stepdad, his therapist, as well as his child self and present day adult self. His expressions, voices and body language really pulled you into to the story.

What I didn't like

Can’t think of a thing. As I said, I was riveted throughout the entire play.

My overall impression

A very powerful show! Ryan is a great performer and has written an amazing one man show. I was really riveted throughout the whole thing, in addition to being brought to tears, and laughing out loud.
I really related to the family he described. It was a very personal and sometimes raw account, while amazingly still being very entertaining!
