What I liked

The simplicity of the stage and props was so refreshing, because everything on stage made its way into the show in such a seamless way.

The lighting was so effective even in such a small space! Phenomenal use of lights.

Again, just Jon Gentry’s performance was breathtaking.

What I didn't like

The venue’s temperature was a little warm, but that was the only thing I think could have been different haha. Everything else was perfect.

My overall impression

Powerful, intimate, vulnerable, hilarious, heartbreaking, and in a word, perfection. Jon Gentry’s show was such an incredible journey, told in a concise yet effective way. The writing is impeccable, the acting is superb, and the direction was so tight, getting all the important moments emphasized and expressed at the right time. Such an incredible experience, and can’t wait to see where this show goes!
