Especially love Cassondra "the Empress", and Beaularetha.
The Holocaust skit was also especially poignant and esp. in conjunction with the wealthy woman - who had her own pain it turned out - her own Holocaust. I went through so many emotions throughout your performance - from laughter to almost tears. Thank you!

LOVE YOUR VOICE, AND THE POP CULTURE DOCUMENTATION; SEXY COMELIAN STYLE. G.

There is $7 for you at the Il Teatro as riembursement. Owing to the fact I had the flu my first show was 5 mins over . My apologies. Since then FWP! is coming in at 55-58 mins. and is soaring! And thanks to sleep and wonderful alternative medicines, I am feeling terrific and so jazzed by this City. I love it! Sincerely, Marie Gleason, FIRST WOMAN PLURAL!

Thank-you. You switched charcters so completely and emotional ranges so easily that I remained entranced. It was a treat to watch you work. D.

5review = First off, PLEASE DO NOT EXCEED AN HOUR! (1:10!) There are other shows for audiences to attend, and it leaves less time for next performers to set up. You could stand to have a few less stories without making show feel incomplete. The show felt too long to me. (and as it turns out, it was!)
There are some good moments, some funny story points, good performance and voices. I wanted more of a Canadian viewpoint, and I appreciated the last story's pointed opinions about the Canadian zeitgeist. The bra forcing scene is funny. Acting and different characters are good, stronger than the writing in some stories, and I was lost in a few stories. All stories began to trail in the middle, or elsewhere, needing sharpening up. The next to last story-within-the-story: I was afraid it would get too maudlin, and wouldn't work. But it did become quite moving. I heard crying in the audience, so kudos.
