Stellar
Jaime Brickhouse lights up the stage with his presence and illuminates his father’s life in a way that only a talented writer and performer can. Really just peek at the “More Information” tab because everything those folks and outlets said about Jaime and getting a stellar hour of fringe is true.

A Show of Critical Moments
The show functions well as a mirror to remember the points in our lives where we might have gone down darker paths. Further, and unexpectedly, I came away thinking about the people that are gone that remain with us in living memory. That, as long as we remember them, they are still present and shaping us in meaningful ways. That feeling, along with the introspection about my own juncture points, were well worth the price of admission. The show is humorous but in such a way that complements the subject matter rather than overshadowing or trivializing it. That's a heavy lift from a writer and performer standpoint, and I think it's pulled off with deftness here.
