A Mile In My Shoes

Bravo! Kathryn Taylor Smith does an outstanding job of bringing awareness of homelessness in LA through a myriad of characters woven together beautifully! She morphes seamlessly from one character to the next evoking laughter, sighs and “Amens” throughout the show. Her performance really causes you to look within and outwards as you slowly begin to realize that our comparisons far outway our differences. I look forward to seeing even more developments and discussions that arise from works like this. We are all human and one decision away from our destiny. Please do check this show out if you get a chance. It’s food for the soul!... full review

Kat you really did a amazing job. Dee and I both feel like we learned so much more about you and various aspects of our communities involving homeless individuals and families. We will forever look at homelessness different and understand the power of what the change in our pockets can change in life’s. Thank you for sharing your deepest emotions and thoughts with conviction and compassion. ... full review

I truly enjoyed this heart-warming show. Kathryn took very serious subjects related to homelessness reflected by various characters and added just enough humor to keep us interested and entertained. I wish my church members could see it since we are adding Skid Row as a campus to our ministries.... full review

Definitely a show everyone should see! Creative, honest, fun and very touching all at the same time. These are real stories and Kathryn did an exceptional job of becoming all of the different characters to tell each of their stories in such a beautiful way. She reminds us to have more compassion for the homeless and not be so quick to dismiss them and their journeys. Her talent, passion and presence are captivating and inspiring. ... full review

"A mile in My Shoe" at Lounge theater 2, one woman show, by my daughterinlaw, Kathryn. She is very gifted and a very talented actress. She was phenomenal in bringing awareness regarding homelessness everywhere. It was touching, will bring tears to your eyes, laughter, and you will leave the show thinking that it could be you. HOMELESS! When you pass a homeless person, this play will remind you of the change in your pocket. 1 John 3:17, "But if anyone has the World's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in you.... full review

Kathryn Taylor Smith under the direction of Zadia Ife brings the actual, true to life experiences of the homeless and the effects on the community.

What an incredible show with an poignant message. Kathryn did an amazing job of opening our eyes to the issue of homeless people and showcasing the humanity of each character. Everything was so good. The use of music, her movement and dance piece was powerful, the projections didn't feel unnecessary and never took away from Kathryn because she commands the stage like no other! Her versatility as an actor is incredible and her writing skills are just as strong. Congrats, girlie!!! ... full review
