This is a compelling story, expertly told. Donna is a warm, genuine and open storyteller. It's a true story, but Thomas has made the effort to craft the tale to take the audience on a journey with plenty of laughs and heart. ... full review

Donna Thomas pulls all the heart strings with this shocking and emotional tale. The show kept me engaged from beginning to end, and as any great show does, it left me wanting more. Donna skillfully executed this one-woman show. The writing and directing were flawless. This is not a show you will want to miss!... full review

"From Southern Belle to Mrs. Cartel" was a brave, funny one-woman show. Donna brings an incredible story to life through honesty, humor, and doesn't steer away from the raw moments that give her show depth. Can't wait to see Donna's next effort!... full review

In a town of artifice, half-truths, and make-believe (both on- and off-stage), real moments of brutal honesty and ego-less vulnerability are all too rare, and the result is striking. Her story is thrilling, hilarious, horrifying, and painful. And even though it is a de facto true story straight from the source, the telling is artfully constructed and it rides like a roller coaster. Donna has overcome extraordinary trials. Now she turns her past to face us, like a beast on display, harnessed and broken by its master. It's especially stunning, since, for too many of us, it's the other way around.... full review

such a fun show! Takes you through the full spectrum of emotions in less than a half hour. An unbelievable true story, performed in a heartfelt manner, peppered with big laughs throughout, it is a must see at the Fringe Festival this year. ... full review

Such a touching, poignant true story. You'll be laughing, you'll be feeling stuff. Recommended very highly.... full review

Wonderfully conceived and performed. In a short 30 minutes of mostly comedy, there are some genuinely moving and touching moments. Look forward to seeing this morph into a longer one-woman show, or better yet full length play.... full review

It was an emotional rollercoaster as Donna Thomas takes you on the most unexpected journey you could possibly imagine. I would highly recommend anyone that has not seen the show to catch the final show this Thursday.... full review
