There is a very real charm to “Spacebar: A Broadway Play by Kyle Sugarman,” now on the boards at CNY Playhouse in their new digs at Atonement Lutheran. The play is inventive, moving, and often very funny. It’s also frustrating and, at times, grating.

Scripted by Michael Mitnick, “Spacebar” drops us into the life of Kyle Sugarman, a sixteen year old theater fan in Fort Collins, Colorado, who has written an unproduceable play with a script as weighty as the Oxford English Dictionary. He repeatedly sends his magnum opus to a producer identified only as “Broadway,” and is enraged when his work is ignored.
