PayByPlate MA makes commuting in Massachusetts a whole lot easier trust me, I’ve used it on everything from weekend road trips to daily work commutes. I walked you through the login requirements for PayByPlate MA, what it is, why it matters, and how to set it up for hassle-free toll payment.... full review

This show was fantastic and Emily is an absolute delight! She's talented, she's crafty, she's silly, she is deep. All of her characters are so well developed and she fits into them like a glove. Bold, not afraid to "go there", highlights her skills and at the same time, you know she's representing all women.... full review

a fun exploration of a female protagonist and experience that brings the audience in and shines a light on pressure, contradictions, and who the fairest of them all really “is.”... full review

Emily can be anyone and anything she wants to be. Playing with the tv tropes and traps set before her, she comes out the other side a champion! That is true for this show & Emily herself.... full review

Brilliant depiction of modern feminism and many archetypes women must express on a daily basis AND as an actress. Emily created a space that effortlessly brought the audience into her thought process, which encouraged audience members to respond comfortably even when the material got dark. ... full review

A pointed and unabashedly bold clown performance that tackles the impossible tropes women face. Her clever writing and sharp comedic skills sore and draw you in and out of your seat (quite literally in some case) as she skillfully takes the audience on a raucous and captivating ride. The show goes by in a blink and leaves you wanting to relive it all over again. HIGHLY recommend this Spectacular show!! She is one to watch!!... full review

JOHNNIE HOBBS certified reviewer June 16, 2025
What a captivating performance! The ending brings in all into focus. Emily tackles her personal life and makes it obtainable for us and others that could feel like her to feel. Individuals that don't understand those real life feelings can begin to empathize with her life. The medicine she's giving us goes down smoothly and in a humorous way. She could force feed us but she doesn't. See the last show!... full review
