How to perform a solo show, Ethnically educational, Ambiguous towards the end, Successful mostly

See it if you like well-performed solo shows with both autobiographical and sociological insights. It's equal parts funny and perceptive.

Don't see it if you've had it with solo stage memoirs and can't abide something that gets muddy in its final third.

Clever, Entertaining, Great acting, Thought-provoking, Relevant

See it if You relate to the prejudice in our society and how it affects those in the acting business. It has a serious message delivered with humor.

Don't see it if one person shows about the individual herself are not of interest.

Funny, Clever, Entertaining

See it if You enjoy a one person show that is clever and entertaining

Don't see it if You want dazzle on a big stage with great sets and costumes. The show was a bit slow for me even though it was only 1 hour and 25 minutes.

Relevant, Clever, Clear characters, Well acted

See it if You're interested in one actor's journey as she faces indifference,lack of understanding and mistreatment. Told with humor & effective story

Don't see it if she embodied the characters and portrayed some moving events and feelings, but it could have been more gripping.

Resonant, Relevant, Earnest, Cliched, Oscillating

See it if ethnic prejudice, ignorance and stereotyping of a woman striving to break through barriers and become successful

Don't see it if you expect to be riveted; it loses some steam when it vacillates between scenes

Funny, Great acting, Entertaining

See it if you are interested in the immigrant experience or in the tribulations of aspiring actors, specifically of an ethnically ambiguous woman.

Don't see it if you do not like one woman shows or are not particularly interested in aspiring actors', women actors' or immigrant's experiences.
