What I liked

I loved Ava’s creativity, voice, and stage presence. I thought the idea to have different openers every night was fun and effective. The show is entertaining and fast-paced, and holds your attention. It was funny, sweet, sad, and silly, and I recommend!

What I didn't like

n/a

My overall impression

This relatable and heart-warming comedy is smartly performed by the endlessly charming Ava Bunn. Ava’s clever use of projections and props, as well as her “funeral for hopes and dreams” framing device effectively reels you in, and reminds you of your own past selves. This show not only invites you mourn the things you used to want to be when you grew up, but it also encourages you not to give up on the real dreams— the ones that matter. Brava!
