Bastian returns home for Thanksgiving with news of 'joining the service.' Mother suggests he join a gym.

Bastian's news takes a backseat when his sister, Rissa, suddenly decides that she's pregnant, and though not yet showing, expects to deliver 'any minute now.'

Press Reviews

"Boulanger... starts with loud chaos, exaggeration and absurdity, and gradually endows his characters and story with humanity and depth."
— Austin Live Theatre

"An examination of dysfunction, perception and misperception, truth and/or lies, with all roads leading to life’s perpetually unanswered question: What is real and true here?"
— Austinist.com
