What I liked

The play was innovated right from the first moment you walked into the theater until the final applause. Without giving it away, you were sucked in right when you took your seat. The play breaks the fourth wall in delightful, not dreadful talking to the camera/audience ways.

The casting was exceptional. No character was a stereotype and the complex emotions and paths college students, who are finding themselves sexually, were delivered with twists and turns that kept you interested.

The play doesn’t hold back. Not only were these a group of friends that loved each other, but didn’t hold back devastating each other with barbs of truth.

The comedic moments were great. New jokes. Clever comments. None of it had I heard before in plays or movies.

Brilliantly done, Barry Brisco, who wrote, produce and acted in the play.

What I didn't like

With the innovative opening, there was not enough time from the moment the audience was let into the theater until the line in the bathroom cleared. People kept coming in which was very distracting to the beginning of the play. Those who needed the restroom could have been let in and then put back in line.

My overall impression

Innovative, poignant, funny, fast paced, great casting.
