Reviews and Recommendations
"At the intersection of "Where I Live" and "Where It Hit Me" lies this play! Gay men in mid life – one who stayed in the hometown and another who left – with a history both finished and unfinished... BLACKOUT WEDNESDAY reads like torn-out pages of our diaries. Bavoso expertly and actively lays out a lifetime of history filled with starcrossed ideals and missed opportunities. The play illuminates a crossection of America where family and geography aren't choices unless you force them to be. I feel like I know these guys and they pierce my heart." — Scott Sickles
