A Must See...A Solo Show at it's finest! I have seen this show not 1...not 2, but 6 times...Since it's Stage Reading in July 2019 and Like a Lays...I couldn't just have One...performance! This is a master class of solo shows in the most unique way...the reinforced direction, the writing...such poetry in motion...with body felt flowing movements and truth told story...entertainment, raw and educating with a dash of witty funny zingers. TL Forsberg is a handful of Skittles...an explosive rainbow of colors in every aspect of her solo piece of amazing theatre. ... full review

Wow, what an incredible story and performance. I got a peek into a world I knew so little about and learned so much, while also being entertained and feeling a connection with TL. ... full review

What a powerhouse performance! TL takes you through the chapters of her life as if each is a part of the book that tries to explain how she got to where she is from moment-to-moment. Packed with extremely expressive facials and constantly emotional body movement, TL's life experience as a "hard of hearing" person living in a fluid no man's land of diversity packs a punch that will shake you to your soul. And kudos to her uncredited ASL interpreter whose entertaining presence often becomes an important part of the show's humor!... full review
