Kathryn Taylor Smiths' compassionate view of homelessness will touch the heart of all. Based on real life events of love and loss in America she unfolds issues of real people down on their luck, mentally ill, and heart broken; yet fighting to stay alive. Smith combines historical events told through the images of shoes and who wore them; amazed at their life or the life they use to have. ... full review

LOVED IT!!!!... full review

Thoroughly impressed! Kathy played multiple characters while utilizing multiple dialects, and moved from one to the other seamlessly. If I didn’t know better I’d have thought she had multiple personalities. I was completely amazed and would seriously consider seeing it again. It had humor, compassion and was very thought provoking at the same time. I will never look at a homeless person the same. Thank you, Kathy. Bravo!... full review

I was greatly moved by the message in this beautifully written and executed solo show. I loved the central character, the funny, witty, and positive homeless woman who is a friend to all she comes in contact with. Her attitude is amazing even though she's on the streets. When I left the play, my eyes were even more open to the large number of homeless people we have in our city of LA. Kathryn's play definitely educates us about this serious issue! ... full review

The actor absolutely lights up the stage - so diverse in her characterizations. You can’t take your eyes off of her! She dives deeply into the emotions of each character and tugs on the heartstrings of the audience. The intimate space broadens the emotional intensity. She seamlessly transitions between characters, taking the time to embody each one through unique physicalizations. And the dialogue is riveting - pure poetry. ... full review
