The play, written by Martin McDonagh, is a gripping exploration of the connections between fiction and reality, reflecting on the themes of control, fear, and artistic expression. Troy also shares insights into his directorial debut with the Outkast Theater Collective, a group dedicated to creating theater that highlights marginalized communities.

The episode is a celebration of local talent, the power of theater to confront societal issues, and the importance of supporting the arts in Florida. Stephen and Troy also touch on their personal experiences and love for the artistic community in Tampa Bay.
