- “Loved the performance of Personality Conflicts at the Sherman Playhouse!”
- “Very well done, well written. I actually cried at the end.”
- “One of those shows that you still think about long after you leave the theater.”
ABOUT THE PLAY: Gary really wants to ask out Mary Ann. The only trouble is his full-blown panic attacks every time he tries! What's buried in his subconscious that's preventing him getting close to the girl of his dreams? Will therapy with the self-styled "Dr. Joyful" get to the root of his problems?

We enter our hero Gary’s subconscious mind as turmoil, both in his head and in his physical reality, ensues when the different aspects of Gary’s personality engage with one another to try and solve his problems. Funny, poignant and at times shocking, Dean Alexander's new play tackles some big issues with flair, humor and insight.
IMPORTANT: The play contains adult themes, and scenes of domestic violence. It is not recommended for younger audiences.
