What I liked
Misty is a charming and endearing presence onstage. She theatricalizes her story while staying natural. I feel like I could be hanging out in her living room hearing this story with a glass of wine. I laughed, I was genuinely moved, and I learned a lot. Misty is vulnerable, sharing the most profound moments of her life with us, while keeping us laughing with relatable missteps along the way.
What I didn't like
They had some technical difficulties with sound lighting and projection which were mildly distracting- especially the lighting shifts during a very vulnerable emotional moment- but Misty navigated them with grace and humor.
My overall impression
A funny, moving one woman show about Misty’s journey of accepting herself and integrating her history and identity into who she is. She tells her story through the five stages of black identity, giving a clear journey for us to follow.
