An unforgettable, funny, and deeply moving theatrical gem.
"My husband and I went to see the new play Two Strangers, and from the very first word spoken, I was completely captivated. The story drew me in instantly and never let go. The set design was nothing short of brilliant — it transformed again and again throughout the performance, each change flowing seamlessly into the next. The two-person cast could not have been more talented. Their acting was exceptional, their voices absolutely beautiful, and their comedic timing spot-on. I was amazed by how effortlessly they balanced humor and emotion — one moment I was laughing uncontrollably, and the next I was moved to tears. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this incredible production. Two Strangers is a truly unforgettable experience that showcases the magic of live theatre at its finest."

Comedy with Layers: Two Strangers Carry a Cake Across New York
"What an absolute delight! This show was laugh-out-loud funny from start to finish, with sharp writing and perfectly timed humor that kept the audience engaged throughout. The chemistry between the leads was electric—Sam Tutty and Christiani Pitts were nothing short of fantastic. Tutty brought a charming awkwardness that made his character instantly lovable, while Pitts delivered a vibrant, heartfelt performance that balanced comedy with genuine emotion. The pacing was spot-on, and the quirky premise unfolded in a way that felt fresh and unpredictable. It’s rare to find a production that combines humor, heart, and originality so seamlessly, but this one nails it. If you’re looking for a feel-good, hilarious night at the theater, Two Strangers Carry a Cake Across New York is a must-see!"

A Two-Person Phenomenon!
""Two Strangers" is a funny feel-good show that definitely pulls on your heart-strings! It does contain adult themes, the set design is amazing and creative, but minimal. I would leave the children at home for this one. The songs are powerful and moving, and many have quickly become earworms around our house! This show is fantastic and surprising, even though there are only 2 actors. I would definitely recommend it to a friend."
