Marla’s storytelling narrative skills, her childhood innocence portrayed so sweetly, her sense of humor and self-awareness, the pauses and transitions in the different acts, and how it felt like everything that she included in her show was important and needed—-there was no fluff or any parts that felt unnecessary. Her range of acting in this show was very impressive as well. I loved how she dug deep into painful memories into her past and worked through them and yet somehow managed to wrap them up at the end without it seeming saccharine or insincere, the story really did feel like there was a happy ending continuing to unfold for Marla. With more amazing things to come! I couldn’t help but cheer her on!
What I didn't like
Marla, YOU ARE AMAZING, OWN IT, ALPHA! <3
My overall impression
I was blown away by this show! The best show I have seen in LA in 6 years. Deeply moving, surprising, and inspiring. Even though on the surface it may look like this story is about a girl who grew up with a harsh father figure and bunch of dogs while living in the remote parts of Canada—there was something so easy to relate to in her story that resonated with probably every member of the audience.
