Audience Feedback

Loved the show... I laughed... I cried... I walked away with good lessons...

An amazing journey presented here - very touchy and powerful story told in a very intimate theater...makes you look, as Keith Alessi suggests, in your closet...and forward through the windshield...This is an authentic and not-to-be missed!!!

Very well done- humorous, poignant, excellent.
