And they fulfilled the promise. Wonderfully acted & directed, this insightful, hilarious, moving ‘dramedy’ reeled us in with guffaws, then stealthily moved many to tears. At the perf. I saw, the prevailing sentiment of the audience was clearly empathy with these deeply human characters. Curtis Eller ("NYC's angriest yodeling banjo player!") singing & playing his original compositions certainly adds to this DC production. In addition to his music, Curtis’ offbeat persona is uncannily appropriate for this play. Only one more perf: Sat. 7/25 @ 6:45.
