REVIEW: A largely-estranged family is forced to challenge their individual points-of-view and concepts of reconciliation in this moving, loving, and insightful musical. Reckoning with one's relationship with parents - absent or present - is an undeniably painful and confusing milestone of adulthood, and the rewards can be as surprising as the revelations. Ashley's story is relatable and heartfelt, taking us through the ups and downs of an author's attempts to finish her book while she and her brother piece together their mother's situation and figure out who needs to take care of whom. These actors play their characters with love, and that love echoes back into the story - while the music and lyrics provide context, well-placed cues, and callbacks. Definitely recommend heading to Let Live Theater for this wholly enjoyable play✨

SPECIAL MENTION: The set and the stagecraft proved instrumental in telling a story that spans a year, within 30 minutes. Bravo✨

You have two more chances to catch this moving and heartfelt work of art.
June 14th & June 16th.
