stage mamma: from child star to leading lady

Review by MATT TRAMEL

What I liked

The pacing was great. It didn’t linger too long or become at all repetitive. The visuals were a fun element to include and the sound was clear. Rheagan did a great job of vibing with the audience!

What I didn't like

The attitude of some of those ex-boyfriends! But what’s done is done.

My overall impression

Our life story is all about us, and yet very few could actually distill it down to its essence and craft a story from it fit for an audience’s tastes. But Rheagan has done just that with a whirlwind timeline of life as a child actor and the mother who wants it maybe a little too much. Not only does Rheagan showcase her immense comedic talent as a no-role-out-of-reach actress playing every quirky character along her journey, but she also opens up her soul as a vulnerable invitation for us, the audience, to experience her story with her all over again, from the highs to the lows, and to perhaps expand our understanding of what it is to feel a mother’s love.

Rheagan has done a fantastic job extracting this singular story from the events of her life. I have a feeling she could likely brew up several more in the future. Fingers crossed!
