Timely, thoughtful, & tough to watch... in a good way. The ABCs offers a view into the world as young women are faced with technology and what the price of perfection truly costs. You can tell they really did their homework to reflect in an honest, yet entertaining way, what being a teenager is like today.
Even though I went to high school at time where instagram wasn't even a glint in Kim Kardashian's eye... peer pressure and pop culture suggested often that I wasn't pretty enough to be accepted or loved... and as adults, I think these are all themes we can still relate to.
Congrats to this cast and production team for creating a thought-provoking AND enjoyable piece of theatre. Creative theatre that has a good message? Yes, please!...

With pitch-perfect casting and dialogue that feels ripped from your social-media feed, THE ABCs is sure to be a standout hit....

The ABC's is a comical and relevant interpretation of today's Instagram culture and pursuit of perfection. I throughly enjoyed the comedy as well as light cast on bigger issues of self acceptance and body dysmorphia. This play starts a serious conversation using quick witted comedy that is sure to make any generation laugh and more importantly ponder. ...

A screwball comedy into a Kardashian infested world that's: fun, eerily accurate and equally absurd. ...
