I loved Danna’s presentation. She is so real and so adorable, you fall in love with her the minute she walks on stage. Her energy, the way she moved and danced,it was so inviting, I wanted to dance with her. I wanted to chant the Yiddish songs with her. I wanted the ending to be different…
I can’t imagine the horror she and Benson and their family went through but her love for Rebecca was so pure. Danna shined on stage. You could see the love in her eyes though her little red glasses.
Thank you Danna for telling your story. How brave you are!
Love,
Ellen Spindel
What I didn't like
I think Danna could actually pick up the phone when it rings. Since the prop is there, use it, if not, then the phone should not be visible and the ring is enough.
Also, it would be good to mic Danna.
My overall impression
“You in Midair” was fabulous! Danna Schaeffer rocked the 50-seat Lounge with her writing, her humor, sensitivity and authenticity!
The audience laughed, the audience cried, the audience softly murmured as they listened to a mother’s love story.
