What an incredibly detailed performance! A tiny snapshot of the life of a human being I can't believe isn't real. Chance held my rapt attention for the full time he was onstage, and only needed a few words to do it!... full review

Chance presents a very raw and authentic "slice of life" portrayal of a man who has hit an absolute rock bottom. The vulnerability and spouts of erratic personal antagonism yank at the heartstrings, as this journey is eerily relatable. ... full review

If you're looking to watch an actor seriously command the stage, this is the show for you!!... full review

I feel as if I witnessed the discovery of the next new movie star when taking-in Chance Lang’s one-man show presented at a performance at Stephanie Feury Studio Theatre — one of the venues at the current Hollywood Fringe Festival. Lang’s command of the stage was instantaneous and his portrayal of a down-and-out (booze? drugs? romance? ALL OF THAT!!) young man searching for answers was nothing short of total commitment filled with pathos and ethos. Lang’s commitment was so complete I wanted to stage an intervention right there on the spot. That he somehow seamlessly wove a solo music number (accompanying himself on his guitar) was frosting on the cake: such a powerful, melodic voice and so comfortable and at ease with his guitar.
