When It's You

See it if Like a good actress in a one person show.

Don't see it if You don't like to see a one person show with hardly any props.

Also It's unfortunate because Ana Reeder gave a good performance but the writing seemed all over the place and some scenes were boring. It was a nice try but ultimately it was boring and very slow.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if Go see On The Exhale about gun violence. WIY is unwatchable. Uninteresting character tells tedious, unimportant story. Ugh.

Don't see it if one person shows fail to hold your attention, rambling narration too convoluted, subject matter of mass shootings in a school upsets you
