What I liked

Loved her use of the audience. Loved her transitions in and out of characters. Loved her embodiment of her characters. Loved use of “go jump in the lake” and finding her salvation there. Loved the go our. Loved her writing.

What I didn't like

Would like to see a little more of the deana character in the play.

My overall impression

Deana is utterly charming and sincere as she plays the roles of various family members and takes you on a journey through the landscape of their lives, and her quest to find herself amid a torrent of other people’s ideals and issues. She endears us to each family member with her expert performance. Thoroughly touching and enjoyable. It’s like experiencing a good novel.
