Synopsis
Ray and Aiden meet in the waiting room of a sperm bank, but soon discover they’re there for very different reasons.
Reviews and Recommendations
"It’s witty, it’s hilarious, the actors are given something surprisingly deep to sink their teeth into, it’s a little gritty, a little scandalous, and sends a tremendously impressive message." —Theatre Bloom
"Over the course of the sketch the two very different men turn an initially awkward encounter into a moment of bonding that was, quite frankly, heartwarming… We need more pieces like this. Our world is so bitterly divided amongst tribal lines and raging towards conflict. We need art that demands us explore our common humanity with people that we may not, at least initially, seem to have a lot in common with." —The Orlando Performer
“Charming, yet relatable (even if not in the market for a "sample"). The intergenerational difference between Ray and Aiden plays well here, in a casual but real feeling way. Aiden was seeking information, but left with a direction, and successfully so!” —Bram Hartman
