"Humorous, poignant and more than a little odd...an experience not to be missed."--The Los Angeles READER
"A superbly droll theatricalization of Pekar's world with several terrific actors...a perfect antidote to our nasty epoch."--Los Angeles Times "Dan Castellaneta gives an eminently convincing performance."--Los Angeles Village View "A clever and strangely insightful comedy..."--Daily Variety "A thoroughly entertaining theatre piece."--Los Angeles Magazine |
