“Ken Urban’s theatre work keeps on getting better and better. THE HAPPY SAD is an entertaining, provocative and thoughtful look at twenty/thirty-something angst. It’s a study of several relationships and of the accommodations people make to hold them together. There’s wisdom here and wit.” —NY Theatre.
“Urban is brilliant, provocative and gushing with talent!” —OC Weekly.
