Best Solo Show I've Seen This Fringe. SEE IT!!!... full review
GEORGE STEEVES uncertified reviewer June 20, 2017
Magnificent show! A very well crafted one woman show that's craved out with beautiful moments that will make you laugh and make you cry at different parts throughout. So many memorable moments. As an autistic man myself, I love how delicately she handles the moments in her life when she discovers that her first daughter Emory has autism. Those moments are very vulnerable, honest and truthful. ... full review

I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! So good. It's the perfect PTA mom coming to terms with a not so perfect reality. It's heartbreaking and hilarious and also technically on-point. Brooke is immediately likable. She has fantastic character-work! I didn't want this story to end. ... full review

Brooke's story and delivery was phenomenal! She does such an amazing job of being vulnerable and showcasing her authentic self. Only 1 performance left - you haven't completed your Fringe experience until you see October Baby!... full review

Powerful! There were many surprises in this piece as the actor kept us on the edge wondering when we were going to gasp, laugh or cry. It was always one of those three, and we were never disappointed. ... full review

October Baby was a must see! Had us laughing and crying. Quite the roll coaster ride! Very real and raw. Brooke bared her soul and was relatable for everyone. Would see it again if it was still playing!... full review
