Published Reviews

"A hilarious, topical look at how grown kids boomerang and everyone forgets to duck."

The Indianapolis Star

"There are plenty of laughs, especially in the play's farcical second act."

Nuvo

"Zolidis is so good with jokes and so effective at keeping things moving."

The Indianapolis Business Journal

"The jokes came fast and furious... So much so that the audience responded with uproarious laughter that was incessant, making it sound like a sitcom laugh track (except in this case it was spontaneous rather than manufactured)."

Tom Alvarez, The Indianapolis Examiner
