The title says it all or...does it! Senior Escort Service is too irreverent toward its subject to be classified in a genre--it dares, it dances, it plays with its subject and our emotions. Yes, grief is very sad, and here it is also very, very funny. Shaina Feinberg and company deliver performances so natural that they blur the lines between reality and fiction. Our experience feels improvised yet never misses a beat, melding perfectly in the end as a hilarious unmockumentary from a brilliant artist. - Nick Coleman
