OLIVIA FISCHER certified reviewer June 10, 2018
Anxiety Written was a witty, relatable and touching piece of theater. Jessica takes you on a journey that will make you giggle, make you nostalgically smile/grimace and make you nearly cry (twice or three times). ... full review

Anxiety Written is one of my very favorite things I've seen at Fringe. Jess lets her audience in on a tremendous uphill battle with humor, grace, and raw emotion.... full review

Gripping theatre and just overall great storytelling. Personal, fascinating, poignant, thought provoking. Not only does it cover mental illness and OCD/anxiety, it’s also about growing up and coming to terms with fear and the world as we know it. Also a wonderful arc, you experience the growth and realizations as the character does. Love, love, loved it. ... full review

I have to say that it was quite refreshing to see such an incredible display of honesty. I can't remember the last time I felt so thouroughly accepted through the voice of another. Beautiful acted and incredibly written. It's an experience I am glad I was able to share with such a wonderful crowd. Completely relateable and honest. ... full review

Carleton knows that by telling her own story, audience members will hear their own story in her words. This was certainly true for me as I followed her story of growing up with OCD which led her to be a social outcast in school.

She is a masterful storyteller, and you will walk away knowing that we all struggle with something which makes us human. After all, if you think you don't have OCD, just how many times do you check to be sure you turned on the car alarm or locked your front door w... full review
