N/A I loved it.
My overall impression
Sonia Jackson covered all the bases for what creates amazing theater. Her acting demonstrates the brilliance of the best tradition of memorable character monologists as she weaves in and out of a colorful cast of personalities that all flawlessly roll off her tongue as if they have been waiting in the wings for a life time to reveal their truths. In her tapestry of giving voice to a serious discourse, Sonia showed perfect comedic timing as well as heart wrenching soliloquies of tenderness. He ballerina like movements across the stage take the audience into the hearts of the distinctive personalities as they engage with each other and create a multi-layered and multi-vocal conversation on a theme about serious issues. Set in a bra shop with minimal props, Sonia has written a theatrical gem that I hope to see on every college campus in the country as she cleverly raises awareness. "Bout the Girls was entertainment and education at its finest!
