More great reviews from last night. Only two nights left!

“Do yourselves a favor and go see this play. Just go!! Chris and Brad are simply incredible in this beautiful story of loss, love and complicated family relationships. But despite the complications, this story will leave you with a deeper understanding of what it truly means to simply live the life that is yours. Simple transitioning, accurate lighting, a sweet soundtrack...there is so much to enjoy about this play. Well done everyone!!”

Positive reviews from our opening night keep coming in:

“This was a sweet night of theatre. Lots of laughs, great acting, fine script, brilliant but unobtrusive tech, clever directing, and lots to think about.”

"A perfect night out at the theatre - that’s exactly what I feel I just had! If you have ever been loved by a dog, go see this play.
If you have ever lost a parent, this play offers gentle catharsis.
If you just love theatre and the magic can happen when good people come together with a good script, honour that by going to see this production."
