Dear Jeff: A Musical Comedy About Suicide & Domestic Abuse

HOLY WOW!!! Callie Ott cleverly crafted a tragic true story into something palpable through song, dance, and humorous characters. She masterfully wove colorful comedy into a dark, heavy fabric, lightening it’s weight, without losing the significance of what happened. ... full review

I'm really moved by Callie's amazing vulnerability. This story is so powerful and inspiring, I can promise you that you will be uplifted in a profound way after seeing this show.

We all will have to deal with pain and grief at some point in our lives, and this is the kind of show that makes you feel comforted in knowing you aren't alone and that can always be a better future on the horizon. ... full review
