My overall impression
Summer “Rain” Sinclair, yes that is her real name, enters the stage playing the tambourine and singing a song she has written. Summer Rain grew up as a hippie flower child into a family where parental extremes were the order of the day. If things weren’t bad enough, her mother becomes a born again Jesus freak and her father abandons the family. “This poor girl”. That is why it is so much fun to watch Summer Rain tell her story to us, there is not a moment of, “Oh poor me, just joy and the love of life”. Summer is a lovely actress, dancer and uses her movement to wonderful effect through the play. She also has mastered the characters she is playing and clearly show us them in a distinctive yet fun acting style. Her director Debra De Liso did a masterful job of making the story flow and in keeping me involved. The slides and lights were well done.
I think this talented actress and director should continue work on this project. There are moments where I became unclear as to what is going on and also Summer needs to pick up the volume at times. I know I am going deaf but when you have a compelling story I like to hear all of it. Again Bravo. Thanks for a lovely afternoon.
