What I liked
As the lights dimmed and Lucinda Papia entered the stage, I began to prepare myself for what I knew would be something special. And it was! Within a minute of her fabulous one-woman show, she had me in tears. And they didn’t stop. Nope, throughout her “touching”performance, I found myself needing a box of Kleenex, which I didn’t have in my possession at the time. Needless to say, I was caught up in her every emotion. Thankfully, she had interjected some humor throughout her riveting script. I found myself laughing quite loudly when she mentioned Wonder bread.
Her acting was sincere, genuine, and filled with a roller coaster ride of emotional recalls. Many times I found myself drawn into her personal memories, reflecting on my own childhood and teenage years with my mother.
This is a “must see” production, one that could be termed as therapeutic, in a way. I am a Grief Counselor who deals with people going through the pains that Lucie vividly portrayed. Her show actually could be helpful to many who have lost their own mother or father. So, don’t delay in seeing this engaging production, SHADOWS OF A GIRL, at the Zephyr Theatre in Los Angeles.
BRAVO to Lucie and her director/daughter, Zoe Papia! The two have teamed up to give future audiences an extraordinary experience. May they continue to partner together for many more stagings.
