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

"Paper Trails" was fantastic. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for humorous and touching short stories tied together by a single theme. Walking the tightrope between comedy and drama is never easy, but these three stories pulled it off so well. ... full review

There were three acts centered around the theme of paper and documents. The first two acts were autobiographical pieces that dealt with the search for identity of the writers (who also played themselves). The third act is also based on a true story, of Presidential archivists who must piece together the President’s ripped-up correspondence.... full review

A trio of intelligently-written short plays, each about reflection on a character's personal, work, or familial history and its impact upon the present.... full review
