Review by WILLIAM DEWITT

What I liked

The performances shined, in particular Dan Pousson and Madison Pullman. The entire ensemble, however, did a great job bringing an excellent script to life.

What I didn't like

Karl’s storyline felt a little tacked on. While it worked on its own (Dan and Shawna acted the hell out of it), I’m not sure it was necessary for the rest of the play.

My overall impression

An excellent play, packed with wonderful performances. It deftly handles many of the issues assaulting American families, drawing parallels between our collective past and present, and manages to be poignant and humorous throughout.
