A delightful and heartfelt performance of an actor/artist/singer feeling “in between” and “not enough” for others to put in a box or “type”. Thoroughly enjoyed the performance in all of its nuance and self-introspection. Highly recommend. ... full review

This is the second time I’ve been to a solo show by TL. It was just as riveting as the one I went to a few years ago. TL is a force! She exudes all the qualities that make a solo show great. The show is thoughtful, funny and intense. An underrated quality sometimes is how watching another person performing can make you feel. I felt deep caring which for me makes it about more than just a great performance… which it was. 💜... full review

Between Two Worlds is a deeply personal and surprisingly universal exploration of what it means to exist between identities. Through the lens of a performing artist navigating the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community, TL Forsberg reveals a kind of isolation many audience members will recognize, even if they’ve never experienced hearing loss themselves: the ache of feeling unseen, misunderstood, or “not enough” within the very group where you expect to belong. The show is educational without ever feeling like a lecture. I came away with a greater appreciation for the nuances within the Deaf community and the assumptions people make about identity. But what stayed with me most was the emotional truth underneath it all. Whether you’ve felt too d... full review
