Review:  https://www.broadwayworld.com/washington-dc/article/Review-DEMENTIA-MAN-AN-EXISTENTIAL-JOURNEY-at-DCJCC-20230716 

“As he considers these possibilities, his story comes to life so vividly that one almost forgets there is one man on stage with a script. Sam’s story offers a raw, unfiltered view into the challenges one faces when beginning to lose cognition, including the fear of the unknown; the urgency of the decisions that have to be made; and the tribulations of navigating a broken healthcare system all while balancing the desire to live a full life, a comfortable life, and a life of service to others.”
