In Siobhan Kierans and Karol Laux’s “Everything Matters!!!” two women question whether life is made up of coincidences or fate and destiny after an important figure in their life dies. (Who specifically this person was, though, is unclear.) With cheesy pop culture references, mediocre humor and a plot that’s hard to follow, these important existential questions don’t hold much weight. The most memorable part of the show is at the end, when profound — but simple — life advice is given to the audience. But other than that, the show doesn’t manage to raise any new conversation regarding the meaning of life.
Presented by Tenacious Tarts at Bryant-Lake Bowl; 1:00 p.m. Aug. 4, 5:30 p.m. Aug. 5, 7:00 p.m. Aug. 7 (with ASL translation), 4:00 p.m. Aug. 8
