Praise & Reviews
“Young’s show is part standup, and part folk concert…[it] is a surprise. It’s a wonderfully uplifting tale about Young at her lowest moments, but from the depths of despair she reaches the heights of joy and the audience goes right along with her.” – burghvivant.org
“A cleverly poignant, one-woman show…This cathartic expedition of self-doubt and self-discovery is touching and quiet…”
– On Stage Pittsburgh
“...told with engaging candor.”- Plays with John and Wendy
