Given the right-to-life movement in the news, Joyful's play about her personal journey through several unwanted pregnancies was both heartbreaking and deeply heartfelt, taking a serious subject and offering an often humorous look at what women go through when it comes to breeding decisions. It's a difficult subject, and Joyful made it an easy one to watch. ... full review

See this show! Joyful is a master storyteller. Her humor, her use of her voice, her expressions to tell her story. I don't know what to add to the already glowing reviews...I hope she brings this shows beyond Fringe to a larger audience. The subject is so topical and should be seen by men and women, adults and teens. It is an important show.... full review
