Paper Trails

I loved this show! Three different stories, three different performances all tied together through paper! Really makes you stop and consider how important our words are, and the lasting effects they have. I particularly loved Snow. The actors were so natural. It was as if we walked in on their day at work. They had a very natural banter about them, and the coffee bit was hilarious. There was a effortless energy between the two actors, like there was this really funny build to the climax- but I don’t want to give too much away. I also just had no idea that this was even going on in our administration! Overall- the acting was solid the stories were intriguing and I throughly enjoyed myself!... full review

I really enjoyed the plays. Helen Burak is such a treasure. Her play tapped into raw emotion and conveyed the conflict of confronting her younger self with truth and authenticity. ... full review

Short and sweet, funny but also thought-provoking... full review

Absolutely phenomenal show, and such a worthwhile experience. All three ladies created shows with such important stories and narratives that were both enlightening and sincerely entertaining. Helen’s show Dear Diary made me tear up, and was the standout performance of all three. Paper Trails has hearts, laughs and incredible performances! Go see it before it’s sold out!... full review

A wonderful way to spend a half-hour! A nice through-line of "legacy" connects these three pieces; first the personal, then the familial, and finally the national. Three markedly different ways to explore identity, accountability, and history. Great work from a large team who managed to stitch together stylistically disparate elements and somehow make them work in a jam-packed thirty minutes. ... full review

Funny, heartfelt, and earnest. Wonderful! There are three separate vignettes, and each have a distinct tone and feel.... full review

Loved it - the third scene was my favorite, but all of them were really strong with fantastic performances. Seemingly disconnected thematically but by the end it all goes together so well. Cannot recommend enough. ... full review

A really smart, funny, human show about being a person in 2019. ... full review

Paper Trails was superbly put together, rarely do you see a vignette performance where each short shines as strongly as the others. If you don't believe it is possible to craft meaningful, succinct, and poignant storytelling in less than one hour, then you need to start paying attention to this production team.... full review

Highly recommend. Smart writing paired with great performances. ... full review
