Praise for The Grown-Ups
“…a near-perfect production.
“As Lukas, Cody Sloan has perfectly…. [and] masterfully infused the whole character with a respectful tenderness, without which, Lukas would risk symbolizing a demographic rather than being a fleshed-out individual. He is delightfully complex and artfully multifaceted, landing some of the biggest punchlines in the performance at his own pitiful expense.
In their premiere production, aided by a few string lights and a smattering of tie-dye shirts, Baby Teeth has posed…questions more effectively than you are apt to see from theatres with ten times their resources this season. Get on the waitlist for the run if you can. You will be riveted, captivated, and ultimately astonished by the simple theatrical magic being spun around the campfire.”
-Andrew Child, Broadway World (2024)
“Exceptional show! Meaningful, modern theatre.
A strikingly human and insightful piece that speaks on the human condition, hard truths, and a way forward. If you have a chance to see this very special production, I would take it.”
-Patrick Chavis, LA Theatre Bites (2024)
“One of the most riveting and original pieces of theatre I have ever seen…one of the best new plays to come down the pike in years…I simply can’t stop thinking about it.”
-Tony Frankel, Stage and Cinema (2024)
