Illustrated horror-themed poster for Trust Exorcises. Two cartoonish figures—both stylized versions of the same man—balance on precarious wooden planks mounted to a spinning wheel labeled “TRUST.” The wheel’s surface is divided into textured, colorful segments. The figure on the left appears startled, while the one on the right is falling backward. Smoke-like tendrils frame the scene. At the top, the text reads, “The Reviews are POURING IN for Trust Exorcises!” Below, the show title “Trust Exorcises” is split across top and bottom in distorted, glowing letters. (Two reviews on faded background) A faded version of the Trust Exorcises poster serves as the background for two review quotes: Review 1 – Title: “Now I Have A Crush on Phil” “Phil is a gifted storyteller, and here he is telling stories of his experiences in a competitive theater program in Texas. His description of the abusive theater director are riveting, and I left wanting to hear more about literally all of it.” Review 2 – Title: “Great show about a disturbing topic” "I'm not sure how I ended up enjoying a memoir of an abusive high school experience, but Phil Gonzales managed it. Amazing story telling and emotional honesty and genuine humor amidst the pain. This is great theater.” (Third review on faded background) A single review quote is centered on a transparent background over the faded show poster: Review 3 – Title: “Intense but funny too” “The possible darker side of the theater and high school experience explored by an engaging and often hilarious storyteller. He says he has trust issues but he trusts the audience with some truly painful and damaging memories. But on the whole, he uplifts the audience as well with his humor and insistence that the manipulated and abused are not the broken ones. It’s a dark but very entertaining bit of storytelling!” (Fourth review on faded background) A long review is overlaid on the poster background with the show's title barely visible behind it: Review 4 – Title: “It Charms. It Challenges. We have a crush on Phil” “Phil Gonzales charms and challenges the audience with his storytelling. I found myself laughing and gasping only moments apart. I think only someone who has truly mulled through and exorcised their past can tell this story with Phil’s level of precision, nimbleness, and humor. Yet, due to a wheel of chance, he never tells the same story the same way twice. You’ll leave the show examining the shadows of your past and perhaps encounters with similar people or experiences — i think that is a sign of a powerful production. We are all better for exorcising with Phil.”
