Awesome if not frightening story, really well told, well performed, suspense was real, comedy on point, divine feminism on full display. Very prescient and worthwhile. Pay attention to your omens!... full review

Incredible from top to bottom, unexpected and a wild journey based on a real-life account of persecution by Gretchen, who is an incredible performer with a unique voice and infinitely engaging stage presence! Absolutely recommend seeing yourself live or finding a way to help this show become a feature because it deserves to be seen as a truly horrific lived-in (almost true crime) experience. ... full review

Oh my Asherah, I loved this show! Equal parts HEARTFELT, HILARIOUS AND HARROWING. Gretchen is an incredibly talented performer who tells her story using the depths of her full range. ... full review

A fascinating tale of trauma at the hands of an extremist cult told through the lens of tarot cards, character comedy, religious stories, and loop pedal vocals. Very fun tech design and direction, with Gretchen strongly commanding the helm of the story. ... full review
