TARRIN MILLER uncertified reviewer June 29, 2015
B, B & B was a wonderful place to spend a Saturday night. What an intimate experience. I laughed, I cried, I laughed again and I connected with her work. It touched me, not because I too have recently lost a parent, but because Laura is flawless in transforming herself into these characters. The piece draws you in and makes you feel as if you are there in the room with these people. I could feel their pain, her relief, her sadness, their struggle, and most importantly the love between her and her Father. Sharing that much vulnerability while still being at ease, confident and funny is exactly what Laura did! Way to go Laura!... full review

I spent the time laughing hard, shaking my head in agreement and even crying, but at the end I had a deep feeling of love and being thankful for being taken along for a ride of a slice of Laura's life. I'm glad she's sharing it; I'm glad I got a glimpse of the road that shaped the actress that rocked the Hollywood Fringe stages. ... full review
