something beautiful
BRENNA BEATON certified reviewer July 07, 2024
Something Beautiful really captures the essence of womanhood; life, mother, love, and how we come home to ourselves. I was engaged thoughtfully the entire time with so many breaks of humor, and I could watch this production 100 more. I’ve always heard that good art leaves room for the viewer to see themself and I saw so much of myself here, my own heart and how I have healed from grief in my own funny mirrored story. Thank you :)... full review

Connections! I think Kathy's show was about connections. Connections between lovers, friends, family and ourselves. This was a lifetime journey to love and be loved with authenticity, vulnerability and honesty. I laughed (too, loudly sometimes!) and I cried my eyes out!!! There was so much love in this story, I felt it in every word.... full review

Kathy is a wonderful, heartfelt, relatable and vulnerable storyteller. I haven’t stopped thinking about this show since I saw it. It broke me wide open. I hope it gets extended so more people get to experience the magic that is Something Beautiful. ... full review

"SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL" was a wonderful way to spend 75 minutes. It was a very intimate and personal feeling solo show as if we were hanging out in Kathy Jenson's living room and she was sharing her story with us. She took us on an emotional journey and yes lots of us were crying during parts. ... full review

LOU DIMAGGIO certified reviewer June 29, 2024
A beautiful tribute to two people who the author loved and to love itself. This show is relatable. We have all experienced love and loss and as such you are part of the human family. Art is experiencing. An artist makes you say, "Yes, I know what you mean. I know how that feels." And so it is with this show. ... full review

For 75 minutes, Kathy Jensen accomplishes something extraordinary: she taps directly into our universal need for love and acceptance with grace, whimsy, and riveting storytelling. She's also funny as hell. With her twinkly eyes and straightforward upper-Midwestern affect, she replays pivotal moments in her life ranging from early boyfriends to the unlikely love of her life, culminating in a moving tribute to her late mother. Her show's title comes from a promise she made to her mother, and when that moment lands, it is a revelation that comes without an ounce of sentimentality--and is all the richer for it. Disclosure: I have known Kathy for about 30 years and performed with her. I have never seen her this funny, or as smart or as vulnerable... full review

Don't miss it! Aptly named piece of gently told, funny storytelling about a woman's life loves. Jensen strikes the right tone poking fun at herself while also sharing luck and loss. ... full review

Kathy reminds you how sweet, challenging and human the journey of finding and being in love really is. Each aspect of the story is wonderfully woven into the next, giving you insight into her thoughts, emotions and experience. Her show is funny and touching.... full review
