What I liked

Nina dances, acts, and runs on a treadmill while repeating the central question, “Do you still want to be an actress?” The story is told as much through these actions and physical body language as it is through words, which are kept somewhat minimal but effective.

What I didn't like

Nothing to add. Excellent performance.

My overall impression

A highly energetic, highly dramatic, and highly inspirational solo show beginning with Nina’s childhood dreams of becoming an actress, and leaving her native Venezuela for Los Angeles to achieve that dream. This show highlights the hard work professional actors and performers put into their craft, including training and auditions, and in Nina’s story, the added obstacle of U.S. immigration.
