Everyone
wonders at one time or another what they're mean for. We wonder why
we're here, why bad things happen to good people, why the bad guys
always win and mostly we wonder why we can never have answers. For John
his scenario leaves him a wreck looking for a purpose, something that
gives rational thought to his own life. Through this he questions why
religion is a crutch when it comes to looking for the hard answers to
the tough questions and all he can do is absorb everyone else's purpose
for living and try to figure out where he's going in life. What John is
is a microcosm for everyone else in life who have gone adrift waiting
for some form of stability to guide them to their ultimate calling.

Unfortunately all he can do is
weather the storm of trite observations and damaging human
relationships while also being bombarded by painfully
saccharine religious one liners that always seem to hurt
more than help. John is us and through him we begin to
wonder what he does and ponder on his own quest for self
exploration. John is an infinite man in a maze looking for
the correct path to the enlightenment and self worth that
most of us rarely ever feel. |

Clayton Myers is a great
casting choice as he properly conveys the sheer frustration of a man
without an identity. Jason Baustin's direction is seamless and
derives the proper tone to keep "Change is Coming" a well paced
straight laced existential drama that will leave audiences
questioning their own sense of contribution to society.
We all wonder what we're meant to do in life and for some the purpose is
always a mystery we're unable to unfold. Baustin accomplishes
existentialism and philosophy with near perfection.
