Session participants emphasized the emotional and intellectual impact of the work, praising it as “beautiful” and “fabulous work.” The story’s exploration of themes like love, exploitation, sacrifice, and the lived experiences of women of color caregivers captivated listeners, with 100% of responses rating it as "extremely engaging’ on our feedback form. Many were moved by the representation of caregivers’ struggles for dignity, and self-worth, particularly emphasizing the need to hear and advocate for these often-overlooked voices.

Show Synopsis: Nate the Great, the world’s greatest boy detective awakes, hoping that this day will bring a new case. He gets a call from his good friend Annie alerting him that her new painting of her dog Fang is missing! He rushes over to her house to investigate. There he searches for clues and interviews her brother Harry who loves red paint and monsters. He also observes (and possibly tangoes) with Fang. Having struck out at Annie’s house, Nate deduces that the painting must have been taken by Annie’s cat loving friend Rosamond; as she was the only other person with access to Annie’s masterpiece. Upon arriving at Rosamond’s house, Nate learns that she has a case to solve as well. One of her four cats, Super Hex, is missing! Nate ultimately realizes that Rosamond could not have stolen the painting. For the first time in his career, he is…stumped. And worse yet, Mom is all out of pancakes. To solve this case he is going to need to find some pancakes, learn to think new ways, and rely on the help of his friends. By the end he has opened up his mind to new possibilities, found Annie’s painting, found Rosamond’s cat, and maybe even solved the mystery of why music in a minor key makes us sad.
