This show was such a blast! This is such a well-crafted production. The story is great, and balances humor with the bittersweet confusion of unrequited love. Every single actor pulls out all the stops, whether they're making you laugh until you cry or tearfully working through the darker parts of the show. Every role and every moment is filled with purpose.
I think what really stands out about this piece is the honesty; the story and the acting are both so sincere and based in reality that you can't help but feel a connection to these characters and their surreal little world.
Also, I hope they put the show playlist on Spotify, I've never actually been excited about scene transitions before. :D...

Dealt with heartbreak in an entertaining way, weaving grounded, relatable relationship woes with comedy and elements of the absurd. Reminiscent of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (that's a good thing in my book!), but finds its own angle. I really enjoyed and had fun at this show!...

Such a fun show, clever writing, with a bit of magic -- all a welcome comedic relief to daily bad news. Writer Gorski captures, in a unique way, the nuances and wishes of heartbroken people. ...

Emergency Operation blends fantasy and humor with the complexity of romance in this delightful play. Ben Bergstrom--with the promise of being the next young, handsome and new Johnny Depp--is the main star whose broken heart undergoes repair in a charming series of humorous and crisply edited scenes involving a fabulous cast. Every very unique character reflects the playwrights insightful understanding of diverse human relationships, placing constant comedy on our stereotypes. Together, these artists are directed by Maureen Lenker to keep you laughing through every scene of this delightful snippet of life. Nobody will go home remotely neutral about the time well spent. We all look forward to Lauren Gorski's next play!...
