Modern Butchood blew me away. Molly did not miss a single beat; the whole show was seamless and kept me on my toes. There was a super unexpected plot twist that had everyone in the theater actually gasp out loud. In an hour-long show performed by one person, Molly still had us feeling a range of emotions. Modern Butchood was funny, interesting, and heartwarming all at the same time.... full review

Modern Butchood is an exploration of the good, bad, and messiness of queer life. Molly Gloeckner is a witty, captivating force on the stage, keeping the conversation between audience and performer alive for 45 minutes straight (pun intended).... full review

Modern Butchood is here to show us that the queer community is not united, not all full of good people. An interesting examination of a person who "loses" her beloved "gold star lesbian" status by hooking up with a transfemme. It's a problematic tale examined in a very provocative way. Hard to tell if the protagonist is a stand-up comedian "just saying" or if we should be exploring the moments beneath their insecurity and hate. ... full review

Molly has created an incredibly well structured, insightful story that illustrates the never ending battle we all face in learning about our own identity, asking ourselves want we truly want in life, and how to align our outer identity with what we are learning about ourselves on the inside. ... full review

Modern Butchood exceeded my already high expectations. Molly's one woman show is fresh, meaningful, bold, explosive, hilarious. She is a force to be reckoned with and a master of her craft. I could have watched two more hours of this easily. GO SEE IT!... full review

Gloeckner is a force. I found myself entirely immersed in this story populated by only one performer, realized to a complete world in dialogue with itself and the audience. Funny, inspiring, and distinctly insightful. Modern Butchood introduces Gloeckner as an authentic, fully-formed artistic voice. If MB isn’t re-staged and made known by a wider audience, we will surely see Ms. Gloeckner make a name for herself elsewhere down the road. Brava.... full review

An exploration of the changing queer landscape in Hollywood and beyond. "Modern Butchood" functions as a eulogy for our protagonist's failing long term, Sapphic relationship. Beginning as prototypical uhaul lesbians, Butch details her experience as falls out of infatuation with her partner. Was it ever love? This theater-goer thinks not! Sometimes, continuing a dead relationship is easier than a break up. Gloeckner juggles delicate subject matter with a deft hand, providing an enjoyable theatrical experience for those both in and out of the queer-know.... full review
