Check out these rave reviews



's8220;Go's8221; from LA Weekly:

's8220;Modern womanhood is a teetering balance of individuality and commiseration, of self-esteem and self-doubt. It requires both loudly dismissing insecurities and empathetically sighing over them with other females. Many girl-powered shows flounder when they tip over the edge, creating a rant that's8217;s either feigned bravado or wearying victimization, but young writer Annie Mebane's8217;s winning evening of 12 clever monologues are funny, sharp notes that together strike an honest chord. Her ladies, be they single moms, prom-night virgins, cat-loving shut-ins or devout Christians, are commonplace (okay, cliché) characters that Mebane enriches in less than five minutes each. These women suffer from the sins of the flesh (flab and sex), and in turn seek inspiration from the holy trinity: exercise, God and Oprah. But refreshingly, they themselves are no angels, which makes them human, not saccharine.'s8221; --Amy Nicholson, LA Weekly



's8220;She Always Told Me's8221; also received a glowing write-up on la.com:

's8220;Are you an alcoholic spin class instructor A Marx-quoting feminist set on losing her virginity on prom night Or how about a housewife that practices S&M with a naughty broom Join the club! Performed by four daringly delicious dames's8212;Anne Gregory, Rebecca Johnson, Jen Zaborowski and Annie Mebane (who is also the playwright)'s8212;She Always Told Me is so incredibly astute, it'ss goosebump-scary. Almost entirely comical, this play (told in twelve original monologues), unleashes the estrogen demons that haunt nearly every woman. If you'sve ever laid out blueprints for your wedding or grabbed your fat rolls in disgust, this play will leave you in I-can-so-relate stiches. Dudes will love the play because they'sve most likely encountered these neuroses's8212;and laughed at them, of course 's8230; Your inner bitch will be fed's8221; 's8212;Lien Ta, la.com
