Alex shares her story of what so many of us battle – those voices in our heads that ultimately diminish our light...that is until we take action. In this hilarious, yet poignant solo show, she attacks the stage with infectious energy. You can’t take your eyes off her. Treat yourself this Fringe season and make plans to see this show....

Rebecca lays it all on the line...no holds barred, and I so admire that in a performer. I've known her story on a very minor surface level. But, this show took me deeper. It shows the brutal struggle to be honest to one's self, no matter the cost. The music, the script...you'll laugh, you'll cry, you're mind will be opened (hopefully). This is exactly what theatre should do! ...

Heather's spirit is infectious. She lights up the stage the moment she walks on. Through her polished, tight, 1-hour show, she beautifully opens the book on a topic that so many women take for granted. So honored to have been in the room to watch her shine. (And someone...PLEASE get this woman a piece of chocolate! LOL. See the show, and you'll love this scene as much as I did). :)...

A beautiful summation of what it means to be a mother. April has a gift for poetic storytelling. She attacks the piece with infectious passion. She is raw, honest, touching, hilarious, heart-wrenching. You literally feel like you are transported into her living room. As a mother, she made me re-think things from a new perspective...and that is worth it's weight in gold. A simply wonderful show!!...

I'm the mother of a 9-year-old girl with autism. Learning her diagnosis and all of the years of therapies hasn't been easy. I still struggle to understand things from her standpoint. But in Magic 8 Ball, George Steeves took me on a journey into my daughter's shoes and what it's like to live in her world. The pain, the frustrations, the difficulties, the fears, the joys, the hopes. I cried so many times. I walked away from George's show enlightened ... hopeful of my daughter's future ... inspired ...

These gals were fantastic. I am in awe of any type of improv, but long-form is truly an art and these women have it down. Funny. Creative. And more importantly, they look like they are having a ball doing it. Well done....

Cherise is a force to be reckoned with. A fierce, balls-out committed performance that is fabulous to watch. Keeping fingers crossed she gets an Encore Award and gets an extension so others can see her shine....

We had just come from a more intense dramatic piece and ended our Fringe evening by seeing "Slashed." Perfect scheduling. It should be illegal to have this much fun watching a show. So many LOL moments. Kudos to the entire cast and crew! ...
