What I liked

Kate Huffman’s show combined all the best aspects of solo performing without falling into any of its traps. It is also wonderful that she is highly aware of the nature of her show and of herself (“I know this sounds like typical white girl problems”) that I would be hard pressed to find anyone who can criticize her for the story she has to tell. She bares her soul in a gut-wrenching, beautiful, and yes, even hilarious way that made me feel part of her journey, even if I was just a spectator.

What I didn't like

I can’t think of anything.

My overall impression

One of the rare solo performance shows that deftly balances humor, gravitas, pathos, education, and energy into a soul-baring beautiful performance expertly delivered by Kate Huffman.
