This play presents a plausible explanation, and does it in such a manner that you will leave the theatre contemplating that question.

Fast-paced, high energy fun that allowed a few moments for the audience to catch it's breath. Incredible cast, every one of them deserves high marks. Great story, well-woven into the fabric of the known history of the time. ... full review

Benjamin Schwartz and Matt Ritchey always bring their A-Game to Fringe, and this show is no exception!... full review

The author has devoted a lot of research into the root causes of the attempted assassination of President Reagan in March of 1981.

A taught drama well-crafted by writer, director and cast. THIS is what we need more of in the American theatre scene! Would fit perfectly among one acts from Sam Shepard, Mamet, Sharr White. Garver and Schiller drive the action while Cantrell and Winston deftly listen and react from developed inner lives. Great ensemble performance all around. When your left wishing their was more you know they've conspired to craft something good...for America.... full review
