Not My Grandmother's Daughter

Not My Grandmother's Daughter is a vulnerable, nostalgic, and absolutely beautiful journey through a slice of Harley's grandmother's memories alongside the voice of her grandmother herself. You'll fall in love with Harley from the very first sentence, and somehow also fall in love with her grandmother that you've never met. In a world filled with intergenerational trauma, it was so wonderful to sit through 25 minutes of intergenerational love. ... full review

I loved this show! So pretty, heartfelt, touching, and reflective… it will make you think about family (and shadows) in a whole new way. Highly recommended!!!... full review

This show was so soothing and relaxing. I loved the puppets, silhouettes, and the wholesomeness of it. This show is the equivalent of having a conversation with your grandma over some sweet tea as she tells you about her life. I found Harley to be such a delight in her story telling and sincerity. I also really enjoyed her light box and how she would perform the actions using her shadow. It was really unique story-telling and I found myself relaxed by the whole experience. It is criminal how little reviews this show has. Definitely a must see Fringe show if you're looking for something sweet and charming. ... full review

Heartfelt and whimsical, this work reminded me that our capacity to love is our greatest strength. I walked away feeling renewed in my desire to create, play, tell stories, and take chances. ... full review

Lovingly crafted performance full of childlike wonder and the challenges of the family we are born into. An intimate and unique shadow puppet show that left me feeling reflective of the elders in my own family. ... full review
