A couple of novice hikers' relatively new relationship is forever altered after they spend the night in the woods with a much more experienced hiker. This show is poignant, funny, and sometimes even a little bit shocking. Although all three performers are quite good in their roles,  Larisa Olyenik stands out as the hopeful and enthusiastic Yvonne, whose emotions are written all over her face. Kudos to the set, sound, and lighting designers as well, who do an excellent job of invoking that feeling of being out in the woods. 

And that's our view. For more about Lean-To or to purchase tickets, visit www.59e59.org/shows/show-detail/lean-to.
