1. This was a wonderful, humorous, and thoughtful play. You don’t have to be Jewish to “get it.” For all of us who have been othered, one way or another, this play will resonate. And Laura’s playing was marvellous. This is actually a two-person play- – Laura and her violin.

2. Thank you, Rosemary! 💞🎻🎭

3. Thanks for the wonderful evening, Laura! Congratulations on your creativity and courage! I could really relate to your story because I am almost, (but not quite) as Jewish-ish as you! Half Jewish on my father’s side, growing up attending the Church of England in Montreal, (my mother’s tradition) meant that I acquired a healthy skepticism towards organized religion, yet it also meant that I wasn’t always sure where exactly I belonged. I just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed your story-telling, violin playing, and sense of humour in relating a very personal life experience. Thanks again for the unique experience!

4. Thank you, Andrew! 💙🎭🎻

5. Truly delightful storytelling from an authentic, personal, deeply human voice. Laura weaves through a life of dichotomies with humour and persistence (and persistent humour).

   Cannot recommend this show enough.

6. A lovely, poignant, solo show about identity. Laura’s acting and storytelling are wonderfully effective at bringing her stories to life. The violin solo interludes are beautiful, and add an evocative thematic layer. Get tickets before it sells out!

7. Experiencing the ups and downs of the incredible, personal story of Laura’s, with a sold out audience, is one I will not soon forget. Combining story telling with violin, Laura is a natural performer.

8. I greatly enjoyed the show. I found particularly poignant the story about the use of the swastika symbol by Laura’s fellow students at her French Catholic school in Montreal, and the reaction of the students to Laura’s discomfort.
