LARRY DAVIDSON certified reviewer June 14, 2022
This is a gem of a show. Funny, moving and personal. I loved the framing device - she writes her screenplay and then acts out the parts of her life during the process of writing. She does a great job of creating the various voices both external and internal. An emotional and moving show told with grace and skill.... full review

Such a sweet story about a self-described not-so-great daddy's girl who is being too hard on herself! By the end, seeing the journey and the visual love between father and daughter was endearing AF. Loved it!... full review

This is a very beautifully written show about the tender relationship between daughter and daddy. But it’s more than that. It’s a relatable story about how we all have those inner voices that keep us small, if we let them. And more than anything, the beautiful power of healing through forgiveness. Every person in the audience can improve their lives just by integrating that beautiful message. Well done!... full review

I wasn't sure what to expect with this piece given the title. But, what unfolded before my very eyes was a story so many of us have experienced, the pressure of pleasing your parents. Characters were well thought out and each different. Great solo show! ... full review
