What a fantastic show, and so well deserving of Pick of the Fringe! Lucy Gillespie slays again with hilarious, sharp writing after her Prozorov hit last Fringe. Billy Ray Brewton keenly directs these excellent actors who bring energetic hilarity to the Broadwater stage. Ben Hethcoat and Luke Forbes make quite the team, with excellent acting chops from both. Hethcoat truly becomes Atwater, transcending the role. Delicious moments between Hethcoat and Fringe vet Chloe Dworkin - whose beauty only adds to her poignant scenes. The acting is quite superb throughout, with McElwee bringing it home as Jim. A marvelous piece....

Effortlessly woven dialogue merges with a fascinating story of our own steps to where we are as a country. This piece of story-telling gave me a little window into a reality of what if... what if just a few people had made a few different choices? What if just one person had somehow stood their moral ground?
And a piece of art that leaves me asking questions, instead of wanting answers, is a piece of art that has the chance of shifting the way we see.
I was obviously moved by this story, and I think you will be, too.
