I loved this show! TL is incredibly talented and I learned so much about the deaf community, her struggles, and vulnerabilities. Her raw emotion was so moving. I laughed, cried, and enjoyed every scene. ... full review

It becomes a never ending effort at inclusion in a world that offers you to just choose either purple or green, straight or bent, listening well or reading sign language.

Exhilirating! TL drives this show at a breakneck speed, maneuvering with a controlled chaos that is gripping, to say the least. She opens up the window of her soul, letting us see her dual struggle in finding her stance on the deaf/hearing spectrum as well as battles with love addiction, and we're all the better for it. Never devoid of meaning of emotion, she leads us through the tunnels of her pain into the light of her revelations. Must see!... full review

TL is a powerhouse performer -- not only that, she takes her vulnerabilities and lays it all out for us to observe as an audience.
