The Yogamerican Dream

Casey Gates deftly sustains comedy & pathos over seven unique personas. As hilariously funny as she was, she was equally poignant & sensitive to her characters. This is a show that even people who've never downdogged will really enjoy. Not only did I have a good time, I actually felt a little more peaceful afterward, which is weird cause I was laughing a lot.... full review

Yoga is not my thing, but using it as a thread between several disparate characters with a good taste of comedy and thoughtfulness is. Impressive transformations between characters is the attractiveness of this performance.... full review

Really great, fun show. Casey has an infectious energy that lights up the room. ... full review

A one woman show, commanded by Casey Gates, is a series of vignettes in which Casey takes on a smorgasbord of characters, each having a different interaction with yoga. Some were spiritual, some scratched the surface of meditation with hilarity, some were quite tragic. The show is very interactive and is fed by audience participation; I was asked to "Om," rub my belly, smile, clap, and answer as a group! One thing I missed was a glimpse into who Casey is and everything that is her. I wanted more of her own voice and sweetness in her manifestation of her "Higher Self." A delightful performance and experience.... full review

Casey is a thoroughly entertaining as she leads the audience through the world of yoga. A joy to watch, she lights up the room as she shifts from your stereotypical, lovingly ditzy yoga instructor to a series of characters that are so different from each other, you can hardly believe it's the same person onstage. I am completely clueless when it comes to yoga, and I loved this show. It helped me learn a little more about the yoga world without making it feel like a lesson, and left me feeling relaxed after laughing for an hour. Go see this!... full review
