My overall impression

I saw this show on June 23 and it was really great! The writing is fluid, smart and genuinely funny. I saw Katie and Dana perform at the 2012 festival, and their raw improv entertaining as well, but they have refined their performances in a huge way.

Katie is crazy and brilliant and beautiful. Dana rocks and her music production is smooth and professional. The story is balanced and relevant. The stage arrangement is interesting, with Dana positioned above, as if the music is coming in from above and beyond. I hope this team will continue to develop this concept and create more funny shit.

For the nobodies in all of us, the selfishness in everyone, facing oblivion and looking toward the lights, wishing to be known, we are all Janey, in a way.

oh, and I’ve been listening to Conor Oberst’s new album Upside Down Mountain recently and it fit in a nice zeitgeisty way with the premise of this play.

Anyway, keep singing and creating, you’re all beautiful.
