What I liked

The variety of the relationships and how the hint of tech was introduced to give us and idea of it but not overwhelm the piece.

What I didn't like

I liked how all of the individual scenes were staged, but I think the show lost some momentum working the scene changes transitions. The stage was large enough to have set pieces preset and quickly shift from scene to scene.

My overall impression

A smart ensemble of talented young actors bring their focus to love in the social media age. Presented in a series of scenes, the show cycles through the trials of young people finding their way in the world. The cast was top notch, with delightful subtle and nuanced performances, none better than the outstanding Ali Pinkerton. But their were no weak links. The strength of the this piece is the well-directed acting company.
