Monkey Mind reminds us to live in the NOW--and what power and happiness and calmness that decision means. Weiss delivers a personal philosophy that has been her mantra in a spirit-driven musical in an imaginative and engaging way. It brought to mind a sort of a modern Alice in Wonderland of the psyche!... full review

I loved the show! The music and lyrics were wonderful. The entire cast was so talented and performed beautifully.

SERENA SCOTT THOMAS certified reviewer June 17, 2019
Monkey Mind is a delightful yet deeply moving musical that touches its audience's heart with a simple but poignant message.

Father and daughter, played beautifully by Corey Page (Frank) and Darcy Rose Byrnes (Lacey), are at an impasse in their relationship. Lacey courageously decides to enter a singing contest in an effort to win $100,000 to alleviate her father's stress, but her inner voices, her Monkey Mind, try to sabotage her at every step.
