What a smart show! This is absurdist theatre and not being entirely attuned to such, it took a bit for me to settle in to the show but the full commitment of the actors softened my modern-theatre mind and then the story really started to take shape and I was along for the ride. The staging supports the action in a simple and engaging scene as the characters travel along to their adventure on the hot-air balloon and by the end of that journey, I felt fully invested in their fate.

This show grabbed my heart from the start and was willingly sent on a whirl of emotions throughout the performance. David is easy on stage, both funny and sincere without any seeming effort and he has a beautiful story he shares here. The tale he tells is just as the title suggests, which I appreciate, and he shares the details of caregiving and illness in a way that is entertaining and very honest. He tells a full story with a beginning, middle and end which offers the audience a real emotion... full review

A real gift of this performer is how her fantastically heightened characters bring humor to what can be uncomfortable re... full review

This gorgeous show is still tugging at my heart. I am so moved by Samantha's ability to share this very raw story which she does with incredible grace while shining as a performer. Beautifully written, she shares how depression can manifest in ourselves and also those we dearly love. While offering coping tools to combat the oppressive state of depression, she never comes across as didactic but comes from a generous heart that has acknowledged and revealed her own brokenness. ... full review

The writing is funny, filled with stories of awesome humans as well as Laser's own story, told with clarity and heart. This show is not to be missed! ... full review
