I really enjoyed this, very interesting and simple. I'm starting to get Annie Baker's appeal

There are moments in this that definitely work. Schultz's and Theresa's relationship feels nicely done; for example, encapsulating the realist style that Baker is trying to evoke. And the ending is perfect would love to see how a stage production could reimagine it. However, it does feel a tad slight at times as if the barebones concept of five people in an acting class isn't quite enough to work for 90 + pages. Still, the theatre nerd in me mostly appreciated this.

One of the most simplistic and engaging theatre pieces I've had the pleasure of reading in a while. Taking the complexities of human relationships and boiling them down to the essential acting exercises is a stunning method of communication.
