The Other Side of the Razor Ribbon

The way she combines the two stories is riveting and keeps your attention from start to finish. The original score by her son, Derrick, is a lovely touch. I really appreciated Stacy's vulnerability and emotionality, which of course, with true, personal stories is the key!... full review

Stacy's brave vulnerability, honesty, and total likability make this solo show fully engaging, emotional, raw, and uplifting. The music was a beautiful backdrop as well, and I loved Stacy's sense of humor in the face of our darkest moments - it's so important in life!... full review

Maybe after he finishes his punitive sentence we'll be seeing HIM here at Fringe was well! I'll bet THAT story will still be Trendy then! (Like Michael Blaha's ECHOES, which ought to be called CAPTURED!, this show ne... full review
