Deeply funny, wonderfully revealing, deftly characterized. Purely personal but also universal. A loving portrait of growing up. ... full review

Go. I promise Take Me To The Poorhouse will thoroughly entertain you – which is, too often, a rare compliment to be able to give about a play (let a alone a one person show!) But Liz Femi Wilson knocks it out of the park. Anyone who has ever been 8 years old can relate to it :) – hey, and the language is clean so even an 8-year-old can attend.... full review

This one woman play was touching and hilarious! I loved how Liz Femi was able to embody a wide range of colorful characters. Seeing her transform back and forth between three kids, or to and forth between her and her mother, was fun and entertaining. The story was a nice inversion of a classic tale and an interesting peek into what life feels like for an 8-year-old middle class Nigerian girl. If you enjoy seeing something different and like a mix of comedy and drama, I highly recommend this!! ... full review

This is the best one person performance that I have ever attended. Liz Femi creates colorful characters that a reminiscent and relatable of everyone's childhood regardless of cultural upbringing and location. She moves seamless from each character she has created, giving each a unique and memorable voice while absolutely engaging the audience to the point of leaving one wanting more when the performance ends. Don't walk, RUN to see Take me to the poor house.... full review

Just a fantastic play! Liz Femi's portrayal of characters is a highly skilled delight. She's one of these actresses that you can't take your eyes off because she is so engaging. She really captures that magical moment of one's childhood where we find it hard to distinguish fantasy from reality-- the magical realism phase. Jane Morris, the director, allows Liz to shine with Fred Kaz musical score is really punctuates the piece perfectly. Go see it!!!... full review
