Temple Tantrum

This was the most honest, authentic and beautiful original work I have seen in Los Angeles in my 16 years of living here. Bravo!... full review

Raw and heartbreaking but somehow fun and funny, too! ... full review

She has directed a very interesting story of survival from a cult that led to freedom for Nicole Steinwedell. The show felt like Steinwedell was the poster child for ADHD, as she told her story in short bursts of non-stop energy. She definitely kept her sold-out house intrigued and engaged, and for that alone she should be praised. ... full review

Raw, courageous personal story that is part-exposé, part-confessional, and all Nicole. A master class in overcoming your past by owning it. ... full review

An always emotional, often hilarious and heartbreaking personal journey... full review

Don’t miss this one! Three chances left! Steinwedell takes us on a raw, harrowing journey - delivering the goods with a deeply personal exploration of her past, present, and future. You’ll laugh and you’ll rightfully feel uneasy at times - but that’s the payoff of this honest, bold, and engaging one-woman show. It’s what we want from theatre: to be challenged and to be granted access to unique stories outside of our own adventure. Must see! ... full review

I was beyond fascinated. Go and experience some truth.... full review

It's a really engaging balance of heavy and light and broad and personal that's incredibly well balanced. Where the story could be sensational or scathing, it instead becomes introspective. It's more than just the tale of evangelical cults, it's instead more about how we carry the weight of our damage and how it effects us long after the damage is done.... full review

Nicole is an absolute talent and I feel very lucky to have got to see her perform this piece. Honest, energetic, and heartbreaking... but also empowering. This is the kind of lady-power show that we need right now. ... full review
