BWW Review: TOAST Goes Against the Grain at the Catastrophic Theatre
by Pnina Topham - Apr 16, 2019
The world premiere of Brian Jucha's TOAST at the Catastrophic Theatre is a theatrical experience unlike any other. This deeply layered, highly surrealist adventure draws audiences through realms of reality, and varied states of consciousness, with a mashup of vignettes featuring current events, scenes from the movie Alien, stories about love, and a parade of flamingos. It reveals and revels in themes of loss, betrayal, love, and the meaning of life. TOAST is hilarious, absurd, mesmerizing, and not-to-be-missed.

This three-part, true-life account centers on his former careers as a youthful dairyman for 12 years, a farm fertilizer salesman for 30, and a volunteer lecturer for 30 more, which during the latter he authored three books.
