“Her brutal honesty and all encompassing investment in the telling of her tales along with genuine moments of inspiration and creativity make this production intriguing... her reenactments are impressive pieces of performance. And she is so very charming and funny when her reactions to her own missteps channel Jack Black in terms of wide-eyed facial expressions and broad physicality.”

“if you’re going to write a one-woman play...it helps if you’re an engaging and [an] electric actor. Thankfully, that’s what writer-performer Amy Schwabauer has going for her.”

“Schwabauer, whose gender-bending was a force in Theater Ninjas’ Tingle Tangle commands humor with the raise of an eyebrow and the guzzle of wine bottle as Pope Joan... The most complicated relationship of all is with Marlene’s sister Joyce... (truthful) words echo louder than ever in a scathing, but passionate, performance by Schwabauer.”
