ENCORE WINNER: Willy's Lil Virgin Queen

I really enjoyed how much I learned about Henry, Henry, Henry, Henry, Richard, Edward, Richard, Henry, Richard... (something like that) in such a funny and fast-paced performance. Terra's performance was charming, charismatic, and funny. Her knowledge of Shakespeare is to be envied. The best part was you don't have to be a Shakespeare geek to appreciate this show. ... full review

Willy's Lil Virgin Queen has something for everyone. A real, heartwarming, heartbreaking, and inspirational account of Terra's journey through the chaos known as life. Her ability to weave Shakespeare's life story and writings, as well as entire lesson on England's monarchs, into her very personal journey is phenomenal. Terra engaged the audience from the moment she took the stage. She had us laughing, audibly sighing, sitting on the edge of our seat, and shedding a tear or two. She expertly guided us through the plethora of emotions contained in both the time honored Shakespearean tales and her life's journey. Ultimately leaving us all feeling entirely connected to Willy and his Lil Virgin Queen.... full review

HUZZAH!! Mind-blowingly AMAZING!!! Terra is ingenious in how she weaves the words of the Bard into modern day talk... she makes it so incredibly accessible you honestly don't realize it's Shakespeare, thinking -- "yeah, that's just how we talk!" I laughed... I cried... I was blown away. Trust me when I say you do NOT want to miss this modern day Shakespearean Queen & her phenomenal story. Don't know much about Shakespeare? Not a problem! Intimidated by the charming Will? I dare you to come anyway! She will "Edutain" you & leave you in awe -- inspired. I would not be surprised if even William himself makes sure he has a front row seat every time she gets on stage to tell this story. Now GO! Get your tickets! You're welcome.. ;)... full review

This piece is a brilliant amalgamation of Shakespeare and contemporary entertainment, performed by a very talented comedic actress whose transitions between the two genres are seamlessly hilarious. The jokes in this show aren't just funny; they succeed at triggering the types of "belly laughs" usually associated with stand-up comedy. The dramatic moments in the show do not feel contrived; they are so creatively woven into the script that we don't see them coming, making them more powerful to experience. It was a history lesson, as well as a lesson in life, and makes use of the poetry of Shakespeare in a most unique and witty way.... full review
