What I didn't like


My overall impression

I really enjoyed this. I personally have never been a big fan of one-man shows, so I love that Blackboxing expertly parodies it. Matt Ritchey has always been a terrific Director and Writer, but I was so surprised to see how talented a performer he was. The debates with the Stage Manager were deliciously clever. I don’t want to spoil the end section of the show, but it was very powerful. I love the entire message of the show, “Why are you doing this show”, it’s a beautiful question that every single theatre artist can ask themselves.
