Katelyn is a WONDER. Her commitment and fearlessness onstage are limitless. Her writing is beautiful and poetic, her vulnerability palpable and raw, she dives into darkness and light in equal measure and we are all left the better for it. Blue is such a nuanced character who contains multitudes. I love her joy and her rage. I loved every minute of it: this is by far one of the best solo shows at Fringe this year and ever. ... full review

Kaitlyn is a tornado of smiles and giggles and innocence and MASSIVE FORMIDABLE POWER. If you dream of doing solo theater one day see this artist and bring a pen. Take copious notes. This is how it's done. ... full review

This is as astonishing an experience as you are likely to ever get from a solo performance. In a tiny space, Katelyn Schiller takes herself and her character on a complete emotional journey and you are with her -- and arguably inside her mind and heart and soul -- from the start. ... full review

The best show I've seen all Fringe!... full review

The thing about Schiller Is that any Role I have ever seen her in, she has 400% dedicated herself and turned the text into such fluid captivity that you’re not sure if you’re watching something that was written or if you’re watching something that’s just happening for the first time. Obviously, this means she is also talented in her writing, but I am floored.... full review

Sweet, funny, frightening and ultimately deeply moving, Katelyn Schiller's "Murder Blood Bear Story Part 2" is a work so poetic, tactile, surprising and singular, it accesses an emotional language so uncommonly rich and primal that the only proper response is to allow yourself to bathe in its otherworldly and achingly empathetic aura.... full review

Katelyn’s absolute commitment to this show is to be incredibly admired and respected in my opinion. I loved the theatricality of the piece, and I found it very engaging how Katelyn was able to use the overall extremity of the subject matter through lighting and intense acting choices. The puppetry work was outstanding, and enhanced the play significantly.... full review
