My overall impression
The actress Stefany Northcutt is a rising star before my very eyes! She portrays Ava brilliantly and her performance is completely riveting from start to finish. (70 mins is a long time to hold my attention). There was not one moment where I thought she was obviously ‘acting’. I saw her last Fringe show where she played a divorced woman and I thought she may be too young to play such an emotionally demanding piece until I saw her in the production. She was truly smashing in that role as well! She has depth beyond her years and her talent is unmatchable, in my opinion. Meryl Streep caliber! She has a way of beautifully connecting with the most novice of actors with unbelievable ease as I saw her do with Frank as well as the last production. She shines brightly and it is clear she wants the rest of the cast to as well which makes her an anomaly in the LA entertainment world. I will continue to eagerly look for her on my tele as well as the big screen. However, now I consider it a true joy when I see her live theatrical performances. Now that I know this show is extended, I will most definitely return!
