i>Everyone Who Looks Like You, which has gone through several iterations since its premiere in May 2009, is billed as "a holiday show for the rest of us." But don't be fooled by the tagline—there isn't much reference to the holidays in the actual show. Instead, Everyone focuses on that element of the holidays that makes the season stressful, memorable, special, and completely fucking nuts. That is to say, Everyone Who Looks Like You focuses on family. While there isn't a defined narrative structure in place, which at times can lead the composition into areas of self-indulgence, the fast-paced, humor-filled, and impassioned tenor of the overall play trumps the navel gazing, and what's left is an exciting performance for the discerning holiday theatergoer.
