Spending a year in isolation reminded us how much we need PEOPLE. It's the human connection and love for each other that makes this life so special.

BWW Review: WE'RE GONNA DIE at Round House Theatre
by Roger Catlin - June 15, 2021

It's not strictly a solo performance on stage, as others have been - there's a backing band that even sometimes interacts.
