Trying

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

This was a visceral, immediate, personal, and funny, slice of life view of a working class man struggling with addiction, hope and heartbreak. ... 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

A beautifully produced and performed play that showcases the fragility of the heart and mind. I was left wanting more - a true accomplishment for a one person show. ... full review

Chance is an incredibly talented, natural actor who commands the stage. His physicality in the show is intense and he is able to keep your attention with very little dialogue. Chance creates an honest window into the life of a man struggling, which somehow manages to be both upsetting and fun.... full review
