5review = Actually, 3 and one-half stars! A clever look at our inner personalities. Funny yet insiteful. It was a bit slow going the first few minutes, but it took off once the divine box was opened. The actor/writer has something going there, but stop using the word "box" so much in the first two minutes.

5review = Take your best friend, your sister, your mom, and your favorite aunt. Then go out for a glass of wine and a fine meal. Bond over a great discussion about how the performance touched you. Very funny & very poignant at the same time!

5review = Erin Shannon portrays a dynamic range of
emotions, breathing life into her characters.
She reaches deep within and lays herself
vulnerable and bare, then rises like a
phoenix to explode with passionate abandon.
She does this with both irreverent, ironic
humor and powerful, poignant prose.
This is a don't miss performance!

5review = Erin Shannon is a dynamic performer with wide emotional range! Her performance gave us glimpses of the many pieces each one of us has inside "our box" . She was funny, sexy, vulnerable, desparate, and strong; pulling it all together to give a great show that held us there mesmorized by every potent word. Big fat thumbs up!
