Review by SANG KIM

June 16, 2019 certified reviewer

What I liked

The artist’s ability to bare her soul on everything about her family and do it in a relatable way.

What I didn't like

Minor but it felt like there were several beats to the end which could be a little more compact.

My overall impression

Courageous and phenomenal. A truly inspirational story that required the artist to be truly vulnerable to share such a personal and touching story of growing up in a Christian cult. Although a unique experience, the artist made things relatable so anyone could understand and feel what she went through in a sincere and honest way. A one-woman show, the production never stalled and the direction kept the storytelling fresh and dynamic.

I was captivated throughout and found this to be one of the more entertaining things I’ve experienced this year (includes film and tv). An inspiration, powerful and relatable piece that will truly affect you. We need more work like this and hope the artist continues to embrace this style of work because it was impactful.
