BEYOND - Unemployed. Finally.

Wow. This performance of Unemployed. Finally. was nothing short of breathtaking. I laughed, I cried, I literally traveled a span of 25 years in an hour and I was so engaged in the performance that the timw flew by. This is a tale of a beautiful young woman struggling with the idea of going for her dream vs getting a 9 to 5 job. there are so many different characters that Heather protrays and they are all unique and memorable with their different accents and demeanors. The story is rich with hiding truths like how we cycle in the same circumstances until the life lessoned is learned. HEHeather finally learned her lesson 30 jobs later and did the thing she was meant to do. ACT. Watch out world a star is here.... full review

Wow! What an accomplishment. In this show, Heather Dowling has crafted a hilarious, poignant, fascinating show about her journey away from an acting career and then back towards it. This seems like the perfect culmination of the thirty-plus job journey she took to get back to acting. Bravo!!... full review

I cannot imagine anything harder or scarier than what Heather "31 Jobs by the time she was 31" Dowling did last week in this show. I was an actor and am a writer and as an actor on stage you usually have a script someone else wrote to work with and other actors to play off of. And even then it's really hard to make a great play. But imagine a blank stage, canvas, with no other actors, just you and the show you wrote and created for over an hour that's really really really hard. But yet she did it and created something interesting and engrossing and naked and real and heartbreaking and fun all together. Talking about 31 jobs she had and her life in between while also playing countless other characters. She set the degree of diffic... full review

Truly amazing. Heather has such control over her story and her audience, and in the most genuine, vulnerable way possible. Heather is lovable, brave, and captivating as she shares the highs and lows of her life over the course of 30+ jobs. She not only easily shifts from one character to the next throughout the show, but also transitions through moments of joy, laughter, and sadness so gracefully that you’re caught off guard by the tears running down your face. A lot of us could talk about our lives for an hour, but not like this. Heather’s amazing story and the effective way she tells it make Unemployed. Finally. a show that will inspire you. Go see it! ... full review

Congratulations to Heather for creating her first one-woman show! A lot of work went into this, and it pays off in a performance that encapsulates many years of twists and turns into 60 minutes of entertainment. While many people would sweep things under the rug, Heather bravely exposes some of her worst moments and biggest disappointments so we can all be inspired by her journey. Looking forward to what her next journey will bring to the stage.... full review

After seeing Heather Dowling's performance today I can assure her that being unemployed will not be an issue for her for long. While the title of this one woman show might lead you to believe that the focus will be on Heather's professional life (or lack thereof), it is strewn with personal revelations that give us a glimpse into the private world of this talented artist. She seamlessly transitions from the lighter, more carefree, moments of her youth to the poignant realizations that life doesn't always go as planned without missing a beat. Surely she will be employed weaving stories both on paper and before an audience for many years to come.... full review
