The show is disarmingly honest and deeply moving, blending humor and vulnerability with grace. Marissa’s ability to create an intimate connection with every audience member, even while discussing complex mental health topics, is simply extraordinary.
What I didn't like

My overall impression
Marissa brings essential insight and emotional weight to what it means to live with OCD on a daily basis. Though I’ve known others with OCD, Peacock in the Rubble opened my eyes to lesser-known manifestations, particularly around social anxiety, which made the eventual recounting of the LA Fires all the more harrowing.
And yet, through it all, Marissa survives—with humor, community, and the courage to turn her past into a play that embraces both pain and joy.
