   Any exploration into the meanings or meaning of life is worthwhile.

   A very interesting play performed by extremely talented actors. Each actor (no mater what character they were playing at the time) conveyed a genuine realism to the story. I enjoyed the production very much. The outstanding set design should also be applauded.

   The acting was solid and the set and staging were really well-done for such a small place.

   This was a very original entertaining show. Definitely one the best plays I have seen at the Chance Theater.

   The performance was fantastic … I loved it. The story was completely great, especially since I am a fan of Dave Barry’s mucronate writing (put that in your bippie). The actors did credit to the script, and the choreography and performance of the astronaut was incredible. We would definitely see it again if we were in town. Thanks for the memory.

   The acting was great, and I loved the set design. I like the idea of snapshots of what levels of loneliness can look like.

    Incredibly cool set in a tight space that transitioned from indoors to outdoors, and from one indoor space to another. Fantastic lighting effects.

    We are often so caught up in the “stuff” of life, I think this play reminds us to pay attention and to enjoy each day, and also, to value human interactions.

    What an exciting, provocative show!! It’s challenging to summarize easily, but I loved it all the more for that. I found the reflections on connections between life and death, and between fatefulness and hope, to be fresh — powerfully interpreted in this staging. The set, lighting, and staging constantly had me catching my breath in wonder — the Chance does a consistently great job making a small performing space into a large experience space! And the acting … everyone was terrific. James McHale’s performance particularly stands out. That final scene could have been corny, but instead it was poignant because his embodiment was so authentic throughout the play. Kudos to the Chance for bringing us more new and excellent theater!!!
