JANNICA OLIN certified reviewer June 24, 2019
Lara's show is a must see! She has managed to weave together a powerful story and an important subject matter into a high energy, no holds barred show. She tells the story of falling in love, the awkwardness of that first time and ultimately realizing that maybe what she thought was love, wasn't; in the most unhealthy of ways, even dangerous. Lara's character work is amazing! Her accents and physicmlizations of different parts of herself are fantastic and very well crafted. In fact, the entire play is well crafted and Lara is a very strong performer. She makes you fall in love with her. This play NEEDS to go on tour to high schools and colleges!... full review

ANGELA BEEVERS certified reviewer June 29, 2019
I loved this show. A fantastic performance matched with smart writing, and a really personal, emotional story. Repko manages to spin through a whirlwind of characters all while showing us a dark and intense part of her life — going from light to dark with a really skilled command of the stage. An excellent show.... full review

this was a powerful and riveting show. I don’t know how Lara was able to inject that much humor into a very dark experience she had. I’ve never seen anything like it. She has incredible talent as a writer and performer. She assumes many different characters and seamlessly moves from one to the other. I can’t say enough good things about this remarkable show!... full review

LINDSEY MALLARD certified reviewer July 05, 2019
What a beautiful and truthful display of art on a topic that is not-so-very-easy to talk about. It's such an important piece from the side of a victim of emotional and physical abuse. Lara transitions from character to character with ease, all under the guise of a fairy tale book reading. It was such a unique way to not only entertain, but to educate and I'm so very proud to know this wonderful woman and for her to have shared her journey. Thank you, Lara! ... full review
