Really fun and funny. Wonderful afternoon of theatre.... full review

Witty, intelligent and elegant. Terra exquisitely intertwines her journey from childhood to womanhood through the works of the Bard. The show is part history lesson, part crash-course in Shakespearean language and content and apart soul bearing peek into the will of the human spirit to thrive.... full review

This show is astounding, not only from an entertainment perspective but also from Terra's ability to tickle you, teach you, AND move you. She owns the stage from the first entrance, then masterfully draws the audience's attention, and holds it straight through to the end. She has written a show that is funny, insightful, touching, and simply awesome! I am personally not a Shakespeare fan, never have been. Yet her use of excerpts from his works blended beautifully with the story she was telling. Frankly, if I had experienced and enjoyed Shakespeare as much as I did at Terra's show, I may have become a fan of after all.

Knowledgeable, funny, and earnest, Terra is a powerhouse storyteller who makes even the most tedious Shakespearean dialogue and history funny, interesting, and relevant. This show should not be missed.... full review

Willy's Lil Virgin Queen is a tour de force by Terra Taylor Knudson. She is in full command of the material and herself, and gives the most engaging performance. For reals: I laughed, I cried. She is such a delight and completely charmed the audience. Had us eating out of her hand in a matter of minutes. Terra is a true master. ... full review

Astounding. I love Shakespeare, but even for those who have little affection for the Bard, Terra makes his works accessible, exciting, hilarious and DEEPLY personal. This is fangirling at its absolute best, as Terra's obsession is brought to life not only through many detailed facts, but also her very real passionate connection and life story interwoven throughout. She runs the gamut from giddy schoolgirl to gifted thespian that could tread the boards with any member of the Royal Shakespeare Company. This is not only a must see, it is a show that is worthy of multiple viewings.... full review

This show is incredibly smart.I love Shakespeare so I was on board from moment one. I brought a friend of mine who isn't very familiar with Shakespeare and she was hesitant at first, but Terra has a way with words that is beautiful and she mixes her life story with her love of Shakespeare that draws you in. My non-Shakespeare friend loved it! Terra has a wonderful stage presence and is clearly a very strong writer and actress. I highly recommend this show. ... full review
