What Critics & Audiences Say

The whole event felt so warm, so right…a show that I found so surprising that I’m still thinking about it this morning... a compelling story. It’s an audacious debut and I hope you read this post and give the experience a shot.

…a one-woman show in structure but not in spirit. Samantha Marti Parisi gives a performance that’s as layered and dynamic as the woman she portrays, bringing Molly Ivins roaring back to life with biting humor, fearless honesty, and deep love for democracy.
