From Southern Belle to Mrs. Cartel

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

Southern Belle To Mrs. Cartel is so wonderful. I truly enjoyed every moment. Donna is incredible! She takes us through such an interesting, funny, scary, confusing time and she does it with such grace. I didn't want it to end!... full review

A perfect balance of heartbreak and comedy. Donna delivered a heartfelt, poignant performance that is not to be missed. Loved loved loved it!... full review

Donna's story is one that many people will be able to relate to: so many of us have stayed in relationships that we know aren't good for us, ignoring the red flags along the way. Donna presents her TRUE story in a way that is relate-able, funny, and touching. I left thoroughly entertained and also inspired by the way she has come through adversity and has used her success to help others. I could have sat through a version of this show that was twice as long! I hope it continues to have a life after this festival. ... full review

Donna's storytelling is both hysterical and riveting. A rare combination similar to dark comedy classics like "Sunset Blvd". Her performance is rooted in such truth and humility that even the most outrageous parts are completely believable. Almost too believable... I would love to see this played out in a movie.... full review

Donna's story is unbelievable and she tells it in a powerful, truthful and funny way. During the show I cried,I laughed and I I left feeling uplifted and full of hope. Because Donna's story as unbelievable as it sounds it did happen,it happened to her and she went through all that adversity and made it out stronger then before. She is truly an inspiration... full review

I cried, I laughed, I was taken aback. Donna is so brave to share her story with us...she spared no emotion while eloquently delivering the goods. I was so moved by her candor, that I often laughed WHILE crying. She is great. This show is great. Well done, Donna.... full review
