This show didn’t jive with my sense of humor. I felt that a lot of the jokes were low-hanging fruit despite the unique premise. As someone with experience in non-profits, there were some situations and jokes in here that were pretty relatable, but relatability wasn’t really enough to make this a must-watch for me.

I was shocked to see generative AI images used in the slideshow during the show. It is always disappointing to see artists using tools that exploit other artists. Generative AI use is the fastest way to guarantee that I, personally, will not attend another play by the theatre company that uses it. Not only is it morally indefensible, but it’s also just boring. It’s funnier to have bad photoshop, childish drawings, or frankensteined clip art than ugly and uncanny genAI. Seeing these images soured my experience of the show.
