House of Gold

Brighter Dark Theatre—The Output

I went into this one blind and came out extremely glad I pulled this one off the unreviewed list. This company’s first show (unless you count an attempted show in 2020), I’m extremely excited to see what they do in the future. The writing is sharp, in a way that I think audiences of all different age ranges can really enjoy, if maybe a bit more engaging for people like myself conversant in modern internet brain rot language (I would like to meet the retiree who truly understands the concept of a they/them baddy, or why everyone just loves Karma by Jojo Siwa.) The performances were likewise stellar, selling the parts they played in this dysfunctional family of capitalist failures while dropping their jokes with fantastic delivery.
