This show is why solo performance exists. Not only does Mariela span decades in her acting, bringing to life the innocent, yet knowing hopes of a 14 year old girl, who has a passion for life and art as well as crusty old school, teachers, stif-necked pastors, serpentine 16 year old boys, on the prowl, and her own self, in the midst of childbirth (!) but she does it all within one hour. She also brings to life the cloistered world of her Caribbean upbringing, where there was no sex education, no guidance, ancient prejudices, and constrictive mores. The beauty of the show is how this cheeky, isolated girl triumphs, despite all the pressures against her. It’s funny, heartening, and will move you to tears as well as laughter. Just wow. ...

I dare you not to cry. This is a beautifully poetic, intimate, frequently very funny look at the pain of religious trauma, and the resurrection of spiritual rebirth. As specific as the circumstances of the narrative are, the themes are universal and eternal. Mariela is a wonderful performer who not only embodies multiple characters with ease, but brings a rich and textured point of view that makes the world a brighter place. ...

Wow, Mariela's performance is absolutely mind-blowing! Her performance is off the charts. I mean, she pours her heart and soul into every moment on that stage, and you can feel it in your bones. The way she embodies each character, it's like she becomes them. You forget you're watching a performance because it feels so real, so authentic. Mariela is a force to be reckoned with, my friend. "Rotten Apple." It's like this wild emotional rollercoaster that grabs you by the guts and takes you on this crazy journey, leaving you with goosebumps all over and a whole new outlook on life. This one-woman show is no joke. It hits you hard with a powerful message, drawing from real-life experiences and told with some serious storytelling skills. Bravo!...
