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!... full review

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. ... full review
LAURA ALLEN uncertified reviewer June 19, 2017
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!... full review

I loved this play and was fully engaged with it from beginning to end. Having seen the original 10 minute play at Playground last year, I was looking forward to the expanded version, and curious to see where Lauren was going to go with the story. She did an excellent job of fleshing out the characters and further developing the bittersweet and also funny tale.... full review
