My One Woman Show (The Search for a Truthful Moment)

What do you get when you take a White Older MAN and watch him try to create a solo show? I'd say you get an honest peek at his soul. From the start, the fourth wall is broken and Stefan Marks engages with the audience, almost as if explaining the difficulties of creating a show that contains not only truthful moments, but also a clear beginning, middle and end. His performance style mixes conversation with awkward glances and actions with self-deprecating humor, and painful recollections. And for an added bonus, he throws in some singing and guitar playing. All this makes for a deeply resonant solo show. ... full review

Stefan Marks has done it again- further raising the bar on his work. Hands down the best solo show I've ever seen. If you get the chance to see this show, you will laugh, cry, and never look at solo shows the same way again. Honest acting, writing, great directing choices and lots of surprises. A must see! ... full review

This show is brilliant, unforgettable, and necessary. It just doesn't get better than this. Seriously. In a world of mediocrity and lies, it felt so good (cathartic) to experience something excellent and true. Stefan Marks is a rare talent, deftly writing, directing, and starring in this masterpiece. Extraordinary. No doubt those of us who were lucky enough to be in the audience were changed for the better. Can't think of a higher purpose for a piece of art. Bravo!... full review

Extremely well done. Command of scripted work to appear improvised is hard to do. Humor, honesty and vulnerability is what theatre should be about. Marks masters it.... full review

How do you find truthful moments, and is it possible to string them together and make a life? My One Woman Show (The Search For A Truthful Moment) is a remarkable play, a journey really, that hits its target many times. A journey which starts out showcasing the frustrations of today's actors, passing through memories happy, sad, strange and frustrating until we reach a truthful moment. The writing is excellent, the acting exceptional, the directing superb. Stefan Marks is one of L.A.'s most gifted writers, directors and stage performers, but it is his dedication to those three crafts and his attention to detail that make his performances stand out.
