My Little Phobia brings us not just into Emily’s room but right into their overthinking mind. What made this piece really special is how we get a glimpse into different aspects of her phobia and how it has impacted every facet of her life and also where it may have stemmed from. Regardless of whether audiences can relate to this specific phobia, what resonates is the importance of support for mental health and acknowledgment of one’s own fears and traumas.... full review

She was so fun to watch and her relatable anxieties were sprinkled throughout the entire experience. The whiplash twists and turns from reality to her 'show' were hilarious and made you want to get up there and just give her a hug.... full review

Emily is hilarious and captivating in this aesthetically adorable, and cognitively rich solo show. It’s cute, clever, deep, and intriguing. The production design is beyond delightful.

She’s wonderfully expressive and charismatic as she vacillates through the many vignettes that compose the show. Great sound design and costuming as well. It’s everything from silly to serious.

A smart way of being inside the mind of Emily. Each sketch was cleverly done with tons of laughs and a cool perspective on this crazy phobia. A great physical comedy with such smart writing. Deeply vulnerable and personal which anyone can relate to. A truly unique theater experience! It will leave you also fearing the idea of vomiting! ... full review

This show will devastate your abs with roiling chuckles before shattering every misperception you’ve had about phobias.... full review

I LOVED this show! Eccentric humor, surreal settings, and deeply personal and vulnerable. Unexpected and totally up my alley. Emily is so funny and such a smart writer. I appreciated her portrayal of OCD, and felt the show was extremely relatable. I was totally engaged for the entire 50 minutes (which can sometimes be tricky for us neurodivergents ;), and I couldn't wait to see what was next!... full review
