MetaFam: a solo show by Deana Barone

Deana is utterly charming and sincere as she plays the roles of various family members and takes you on a journey through the landscape of their lives, and her quest to find herself amid a torrent of other people's ideals and issues. She endears us to each family member with her expert performance. Thoroughly touching and enjoyable. It's like experiencing a good novel.... full review

Deana has such an engaging stage presence. She's a seasoned solo artist and commands the stage with her truth. She drew me into her story of her family from the beginning and my attention didn't waver while she was portraying life with them (the only falter from my pov was bringing an audience member on stage). I really felt I got to know her family, with all their imperfections as well as lovable qualities. She knows how to watch, listen, remember and relate. I esp loved her portrayal of her young self and her relationship with her mentally ill sister. Recommend!... full review
