I felt as though, I was able get to see & witness how things are not always what they seem & to be in a position of authority sometimes requires a gift discernment. It easy to just try to put people or something we don't understand in a box, rather than listening or getting a better understanding. This show made me stop with this preconceived stereotype notion and listen & find out more before you judge. Wow! Amazing! This is a message for right now and to be honest should be understood for all of us, especially we who live in this world of diversity. A must expirence!... full review

Lorinda's strength was felt throughout the show. I felt the pain and triumph surrounding domestic violence. She uses her traumatic experiences seen with the justice system, being a Black woman, and society's blame on victims into art making and power. ... full review

This show was absolutely phenomenal. I really appreciate Lorinda sharing her story with all of us, and I was so very impressed by her performance. She was able to take such a past difficult time of hers and transform it into such a beautiful work of art. Her characters, her depth, and her use of the stage and environment to tell her story was so captivating. I left in tears, but also with such a profound connection to her and her story because of her ability to capture humanity, with all of its darkness and light and sorrows and joy. Along with taking us on a journey through this heartbreaking justice system of ours, she was also able to capture the nuances and complexities of the human condition..of love, of what we think love is…it was al... full review

Great show and story. Lorinda has a fantastic singing voice. She could have sang all the way through the show and it would have been fine with me. Her stage presence and character impersonations where great. There were some things I would have like to hear more about. The show was a a little too long. Overall, Bravo!! ... full review
