Snack

Hilarious, poignant, moving, disturbing, inspirational - as was predicted in Director Chris Game's welcome, I found myself laughing and crying simultaneously. As a mother, daughter, sister, step-mother - I identified with, riled against, and loved each of the folks who people her stories. Her rendition of her tale unfurled in a fast paced but never rushed delivery that is genuine and heartfelt and filled with humor and love alongside the pain. You will leave moved and thankful for the hour spent with Megan Dolan and her story.... full review

SNACK ATTACK! Megan Dolan has written a wonderful tight script that goes from parental breakdown to the year her parents broke down and back again. I loved the images, tastes, micro moments that her 8 year old self found important enough to remember forever. Wonderfully written. A definite go see.... full review

Such a well-written piece by a very engaging and soulful performer. It sounds twisted to say, but I thoroughly enjoyed the stroll through Megan's messed up childhood. I also enjoyed the Lorna Doones. Thanks for all of it!... full review

I LOVED this solo show! Refreshing, funny, well written and delightfully told by Megan Dolan whose acting talents, candor, perspective and wit serve her well as she travels between her struggles with motherhood in the present and her family life as an 8 year old girl trying to make sense of her changing world. I cared for all the characters and was totally engaged. I highly, highly recommend Snack!!... full review

Love, Love, LOVE THIS SHOW! Megan is a phenomenal storyteller, transitioning effortlessly from character to character as she shares her insightful, brave story. What I love most about Megan's writing is that she never forces any opinions on her audience. There are no statements made...she doesn't guide you to feel any one way about her story..she simply tells it - mostly through the eyes of her 8 year old self...And what's so beautiful about that kind of writing is that we get to decided for ourselves what we feel by simply experiencing it with her but through the eyes and experience of an adult. The writing is superb. Her performance is extraordinary and she never misses a beat. Megan is one of those unique performers who lights up the... full review

This is a must see. One of the funniest and most touching one person shows I have seen in a while. Megan is so engaging as a performer and a writer. ... full review

Megan Dolan never disappoints. She is quite possibly the most honest performer I have had the pleasure to witness. Her story is deeply moving, hysterically funny and majestically uplifting. Watching her sparkle with vivid life on stage makes me want to be a better artist. In a mere hour of your time, she quickly becomes your best friend, grabs at your hearts strings and doesn't let go. "Snack" is a show you cannot miss. Kudos to her director, Chris Game; inventive set designer, Curtis Brooks; and whimsical artwork by Nikki McCauley! This is how theater is done!... full review

Really enjoyed this show. It's well written, artfully directed, and wonderfully performed. Laughed out loud more than I have in a long time. ... full review

What a heartwarming show- it was as sweet and warm and extreme as the wanting of a fresh baked cookie! Cute and fun- Megan is a wonderful person to spend time with and watch on stage and off. She has such a spirit that is undefinable yet you are drawn to it like you are drawn to the smell of fresh baked cookies! Fantastic job.... full review

Megan Dolan gives a completely entertaining and endearing performance using such a clever device to move us in time through her story - snacks! I think it is so relatable to associate "favorite foods" and special songs with impactful moments in your life, either as a part of the moment or as relief from that moment and Dolan did this beautifully. Very, very clever writing and a stellar performance! Cheers!... full review
