Stage Raw
“STAGE RAW TOP 10… DELIGHTFULLY DERANGED… A drug-fueled theatrical romp unlike any other… Though the style of humor is undeniably irreverent and audacious, this shedding of light on Freud’s struggle with substance abuse strangely offers something akin to empowerment for recovered or recovering addicts.” — Socks Whitmore, Stage Raw

NoHo Arts District
“FUNNY, CLEVER, FASCINATING… gives us a direct and rather disturbing look into the mind of an overstimulated and wildly experimental pseudo and self-proclaimed expert of the human mind… hilariously relatable, heartrendingly real and intensely entertaining.” — Samantha Simmonds-Ronceros, NoHoArtsDistrict.com
Glamgical
“SUPERB… Instead of treating the subject matter as a sea of tears and sorrows, [playwright Howard] Skora uses his characters as conduits to deliver some of the funniest lines in the contemporary theatre scene… Make sure you don’t miss this gem.” — Joe Mosqueda, Glamgical
Larchmont Chronicle
