What I liked
The clear, deliberate effort put into the storytelling.
What I didn't like
The small stage was perfect but I would’ve loved for the AC to stay off so we could’ve heard Diana more clearly.
My overall impression
LA is a tough place to be. Before living here, I had been all over the country, struggling to find a place where I really fit in. In the midst of my meandering, I contracted a neuroimmune disorder similar to that of Diana’s. Over the last few weeks, feeling the effects of that disorder, watching the city slog through a recession, and feeling somewhat isolated from the communities I’ve tried to build, I’ve been debating if I should stay here at all.
But this show was a refreshing reminder of the life that original works inject into Hollywood, and of why I’m here.
I’m not as accomplished as Diana is just yet, but the fact that the show was made at all makes me optimistic for the fate of this place. It was funny. It was sobering. It was inspir- . . . hopeful.
I haven’t made up my mind about what to do next, but if ‘Me, Myself And Other’ is any indication of what it feels like to accomplish your goals despite what stands in your way, it’s looking promising.
