A MUST SEE! Kelly Mullis is a hilarious and heartbreaking force of nature, and the opportunity to spend an hour with her is not to be missed. Solo shows are a crap shoot, and this Army Brat triggers a winner....

Kelly Mullis is a delight. This autobiographical show is a must see for everyone. She sings, she dances, she bares her soul and the subject matter can be heavy at times, but Kelly never takes herself too seriously making her all the more relatable and accessible. ...

Kelly brings her audience on this dramatic and at times comical journey of her life with bravery, inspiration, and heart! Her presence on stage is electric!

Thanks again Kelly for bringing your story to the stage!...

Army Brat is a deeply intimate and quietly devastating, one -woman show that transforms personal history into something universally resonant. What begins as an autobiographical account unfolds into a layered exploration of identity, displacement, resilience, and the invisible imprints of a transient childhood.
It offers a clear-eyed portrayal of what it means to grow up untethered but constantly adapting and learning how to survive in between.

I’m always a little cautious about one-person shows built around someone’s personal life. Fictional solo pieces usually excite me more because they have a little more room to surprise.
I could not have been more wrong.

Don't miss it.

Kelly brought me along on her journey through pain and trauma with vulnerability and strength. Her story is filled with sadness but she manages to covey the ability to survive all the abuse and and melancholy with humor, grace and a defiant joy. I particularly enjoyed the perfect placement of pictures to bring her memories to life....
