CTown is going to change your life when we fulfill our vibrational destinies together with THE MOMENTUM, a self-help-sploitation that asks: Unhappy? Listless? Broke? Alone? Depressed? Shoeless? Let its Laws of Attraction massage your vibrations and pull you into the Gaping Hole of Momentum. There, you'll eventually learn it's not what you don't have that matters, but what you think you want to have but don't yet and aren't sure how to find and who even knows if what you want is what you need or if it's obtainable but if it is there's only one way to get it: THE MOMENTUM ™®©.

"Find a way to see this show [...] for an intelligent comedy that will have you giggling all the way through and emerge relishing the privilege we all have of struggling to be truly ourselves."

"...this short three-person piece was hilarious and then, suddenly, extremely moving."
--The Dig, Boston
"That earnestness is ultimately what is most appealing and disarming about “The Momentum.” [...] That seems to be the point: Pain is ordinary, bedrock. Let’s talk about it together, not wish it away with platitudes."
--The New York Times
"Geoffrey Decas, Boo Killebrew, and Jordan Seavey have fine tuned the business of self-help into an art; they’ve observed this industry and tossed it back in a way that captures it perfectly yet still winds up being hilarious. [...] They’ve mastered the art of blurring the line between homage and parody so skillfully that simply by “getting it” the audience is made to feel smarter after the show; no small feat in an arena these days when so much comedy depends on dumbing things down for cheap and dirty laughs."
--The Happiest Medium
"The Momentum is not to be missed. All three actors are incredibly talented and have created a true ensemble with an energy I found to be contagious. Their performances, along with the ingenious concept and smart writing, make the show a joy to watch. You will laugh, you might cry, and you could even learn something."
