Picture

A sentimental father. An expectant father. A Danish-Canadian Father-in-Law. An exploration of what it means to be a father, what it means to be a son, and how to mix the two.



"It was very earnest and real... snortingly funny." 
-MPR
"4 Stars" - KC Stage
"Very funny." - Star Tribune
"A riff on life experiences with much self-effacing charm and good energy. Straightforward and refreshingly simple. Natural and funny." - Minnesota Examiner
