Directed by Stephen Aberle, this story of friendship is an intimate and moving portrayal, performed by a talented and hardworking ensemble. I got a sneak peak at the production earlier this week. It had me laughing. I related to both of the characters (their good and more challenging traits/actions) and the actors had great chemistry and intensity. By the end, I was crying. It starts with Thomas trying to write the eulogy of his boyhood friend Alvin, and it takes the audience through some of the stories of their lives. The music is wonderful and the performers are top-notch. See it if you can.

Tickets can be purchased from eventbrite.com.
