CRITIC'S PICK!
"A worthy regional premiere
not to be missed!
In meshing reality with fiction, Carpenter offers a compelling look at society's dreamers, those who live outside the confines of conformity."
-- Back Stage

"Chance Theater offers a compelling look at a quixotic dreamer who refuses to conform to society's expectations."
-- Orange County Register

WOW!
“Carpenter’s script keeps
you guessing throughout,
and unless you’re considerably more prescient than this reviewer, Up’s second act
will jolt you with several
I-didn’t-see-that-coming revelations”
-- StageSceneLA
