Read the Reviews:
"This production is funny, often darkly so, and strikes a bittersweet balance between melancholia and optimism, through which it accumulates an emotional power that comes to a head at one late point when Past, Present, and Future Helvetica share the stage. Early on, Myron says early that Helvetica herself is our story, and it is a tale well worth the listening." Read the full review here
".....drawn in by the colorful writing – alternately realistic and poetic – and by the deft humor and engaging characters, including Helvetica’s beloved stuffed teddy bear Myron (Sven Haabeth), who also serves as a jolly but wise narrator." Read the Full Review here

"This was such a charming, moving, hilarious surprise and so well acted and directed by all concerned. While the play may deal with such heavy subjects like life and death, loneliness, finding happiness, it is done in such a lighthearted manner that you can relate to that you will leave the theater smiling with a tear in your eye at witnessing such a delightful and engaging play.

Helvetica Burke: adventurer, writer, and cynic, has spent her life packaging Death neatly between the lines of her beloved children’s books, with her trusty stuffed bear Myron by her side. When she encounters Death head-on however, she finds the storybook truths within the realities of her past, present, and future.
