Press
"A splendid one hour of music, laughter, life lessons and the art of putting on a show."
"Perhaps the most important young writers in musical theatre today, they have a gift for connection and emotional insight not matched by many of their colleagues"
"TheatreworksUSA has done it again... thoroughly entertaining, spiritedly acted and well sung, lively, funny and short"
"The songs transport the audience still deeper into Henry's childhood world: a sweet, slightly uncertain place, with a scary forest just beyond the picket fence"
