Press Reviews

"[A] vivid compendium of life experienced at its extremes, drawn about equally from the suffering and the ministering sides of the story.” —The New York Times. “Vitally important, wide-ranging and [an] ultimately very moving solo piece.” —Los Angeles Times. ”It's stunning, beautiful, and transcendent.“ —San Francisco Weekly. ”…never less than engaging, at times hypnotic, speaking on matters having largely to do with human frailty, of passing through life into something beyond."
— LA Weekly
