"Teddi Yaeger’s superb adaptation of Howard Buten’s book – about a boy thrown into a mental institution for what he did to a classmate – creates the perfect mix of horror, humor, and insight.  Director Susanna Wilson elegantly weaves the action across the stage, bleeding a tight-knit cast in and out of deftly drawn scenes and characters, topped off by Brian Culver’s Burt.  Culver draws you in as he repels you, just as creepy as he is endearing in his attempts to deal with being suddenly thrust from a child’s imagination out into the much less simple adult world." - Seattle Weekly, *Critic’s Pick
