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

Outstanding show, watching a man struggle to ultimately discover what his show is meant to be about. ... full review

Mr. Marks deftly "shreds" the solo-performance genre taking it to dizzying heights masterfully dancing a tightrope between hilarious satire and heart-aching sincerity. Witty, intelligent, honest writing. Charismatic performance.... full review

A kick in the ass and heart! Hysterical and poignant!!!... full review

The reason we go to theatre and especially to a one-person show is to go on a ride that leaves us feeling like we have truly witnessed something spectacular. THIS is that show. ... full review

Andre Gide said : The role of the artist is to disturb. This is a disturbing play. And fucking brilliant. Yeah, this remarkable one-person conception by Stefan Marks is perfectly titled (though you won't understand why until the final few minutes), and flawlessly rendered in various (beautifully-choreographed) tonal modes. Part meta-theater, part autobiography, all amazing, you've got to see it. ... full review

From the second the lights went up until the show ended, I was entirely entertained and moved.... full review

This is an amazing show. One of my favorites in a very full lineup of Fringe greats! Seamless, fluid, dynamic and clear-eyed; this one will grab you when you least expect it. Stefan is a masterful writer/creator with an insane amount of ability and self-deprecating charm. His understanding of craft and structure is what sets this production apart from many others.... full review

What an outstanding show! Beautiful, connected, funny, grounded, professional and fully on-point. I experienced the entire spectrum of emotions during this show. One of my absolute favorites from this years fringe offerings. A truly high-quality piece of art. ... full review

Stefan writes for people who wonder 'how the hell did I end up here tonight', and then shows you exactly why. He pops all the sacred bubbles of theatre, and makes you giggle, and feel, and appreciate it the whole way through. This show is absolutely worth your time and money!... full review

From the jump, the audience knew they were in capable hands. While many one person shows may suffer from an earnest energy that begs to be understood, Stefan’s indelible writing and performance style puts you at ease. As his sincere and self-deprecating tone seamlessly moves from sharp observations of the creative process, and this awkward thing we call life, to a meaningful and painful recollection—we are deeply invested. Stefan seems to inherently understand how to walk the line of delivering unassuming humor and honest pain without it ever feeling indulgent or without purpose. ... full review
