Theater Review: Mikki Gillette's 'No More Candy' Charms, Even as Its Characters Work Through Heavy Traumas
Briefly

The production is both charming and adorable, but it addresses heavy traumas including rape and transphobia, making one’s desire to engage variable.
No More Candy is a hero's journey that highlights the bond between two queer punks embarking on their healing process through shared experiences.
The fast-paced dialogue and relatable character portrayals create a sense of realism, as evidenced by the characters’ candid admissions about their awkwardness.
Gillette’s writing integrates influences from TV performances, resulting in quick-paced lines that reflect genuine emotions rather than the slower build of traditional stage drama.
