My overall impression

I smile as I write this… Heather Dowling is such an effective, relatable, and FUNNY storyteller. The thread is clear: a woman’s journey from a life seemingly composed of digressions (very entertaining and sometimes moving ones) to a place of excited focus, bursting with potential energy. Heather plays a huge variety of characters whose physical and vocal nuances are varied and distinctive. Strung throughout each phase of her life, however dissatisfying or distracting or potentially heartbreaking, there is this sense of optimism and forward momentum. The show’s energy will carry you from job to job until you arrive at the namesake of the show. And you will leave inspired by her journey… And grinning at how much fun it was to get there.
