The dysfunctional family. America’s calling card for drama. If it wasn’t for theatre to allow us to see that we are all a little off, we wouldn’t be able to call ourselves human. We all carry baggage, and sometimes our families have a great way of throwing our baggage out onto the front lawn for … Continue reading Script’d Box Review: ‘Appropriate’ by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins
