I was so amazed at how entertaining, funny and insightful From Southern Belle to Mrs. Cartel was, a must-see! Donna Thomas' performance is refreshingly real going from her humorous delivery to stripped-down emotionally baring when called for, this one-woman dramedy needs to make it's way into more venues!... 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
