I loved this show. Dina is an extremely gifted performer. Her show made me laugh but was also very moving. Her story is personal and very relatable at the same time. I loved the various elements she incorporated into the show and it all flowed seamlessly. I found myself thinking about it way after curtain call. Just a beautifully executed show. Brava!!! Well done!...

Just saw Family Values and honestly — what a ride. It was hilarious, sharp, moving, and relatable
The writing was clever without trying too hard, the performances were full of heart, and the energy never dipped. You could feel the love and care that went into every scene. It had that perfect mix of laughs and tearful moments. Huge props to everyone involved — it’s rare to see something this well-balanced and real. Don’t miss it!!! Will come to see it again while it lasts for sure ...
