“Otterbein University has leaned into making art under pandemic restrictions as strongly as any group in central Ohio, with remarkable results that make those restrictions seem chosen rather than imposed….As directed by Thom Christopher Warren, this production makes fluid use of both staged ensemble numbers and more intimate ones set in libraries, bars, apartments, or on the streets of Columbus. Split screens, sometimes employed playfully and sometimes seriously, allow physically distanced actors to appear close to one another”
