I am grateful to David Allen Vargo for lending his extensive theatrical skill to reading this powerful story by Douglas Whaley. Imaginary Friend contributes to understanding the experiences of atheists and LGBTQ+ people with thought-provoking analysis, an intense plot, and a good deal of humor. Mr. Vargo’s engaging reading brings the story and characters to life with distinct and natural sounding voices. I highly recommend the book and will look forward to hearing more readings by David Allen Vargo.
