Everyone has <a href="https://sinistersquidward.com/">squidward</a> self-criticisms that follow them around and obstruct their progress. Mary Lee was the last person left standing in the room after knocking them all down one at a time. This production has excellent writing, acting, and directing. Team, I'm grateful....

father desperately wanting to ease her pain from beyond.

A great performer and writer who knew how to create great characters while also keeping each character very grounded and real. This is not an easy task for a solo performer but it was one of MaryLee’s strengths! ...
