Mara delivers a performance for the ages. She takes us on a journey where she confronts in inner demons and insecurities. She bravely lowers her guard and exposes the audience to her raw, inner self. The courage and confidence required to allow yourself to be so vulnerable in front of a room full of people is a commendable feat and I was taken aback by her performance. She really challenges the audience to understand what it means to love yourself.... full review

This show held up a mirror to the performer’s inner world—and then turned it outward, reflecting it back to the audience. She dove into the quiet, often brutal ways we speak to ourselves. She took this and turned it into something deeply moving, unexpectedly funny, and real. I highly recommend! ... full review
