RICH GROSSO certified reviewer June 05, 2023
Things To Avoid In A Eulogy should be on your must see list. Stand out performances. The writing was at a level that one rarely sees. Wonderfully directed. At times I wasn't sure where they were taking us, yet I was thoroughly enjoying the journey. This beautiful play takes you on an emotional ride and totally sticks the landing. All that were involved in this production should be really proud of themselves.... full review

There are very few times that I've attended small theater and felt rewarded, uplifted and truly lucky to see the production. Today, that was reversed when I saw the opening performance of "Things to Avoid in a Eulogy." I can honestly say that the writing, acting and production values gelled perfectly to provide a feel-good experience out of the tragedy of the two characters on stage--an older woman dying of cancer and the Gen Z youth she hires to wait out the end with her. I don't think Donny Jarman, the author of this gem, missed any important emotional nuggets of the two characters' lives. Bravo! And all others, please see this show, you will not be disappointed!... full review

Go see this play. That is my simplest, most heart-felt reaction and review. I mean it. Donnie Jarman's play hit me in the gut and the heart. It is a profound piece, not in terms of ideas or action, but for the emotional depths it reaches and explores, with compassion and humor.... full review
