Feedback from Memoir showcase performance of "Thirty Bucks"

Feedback after “Thirty Bucks.” “Good job, tough story” Greg Klob “Very powerful writing and the actor was great. Like walking down the street naked in a 20 year old’s body wearing high heels! Well done.” Janice Pennington “Wow, just finished watching “Thirty Bucks”. Every syllable touched my heart and made so present to you and all the love and worry and profound sadness you went through. Thanks for sharing your soul in such a vulnerable and powerful way.” Roger Hassett “Great story, Kathleen. Trying to dry my eyes now. Keep the faith. Thanks for sharing.” “Yes, you captured him. It was strange at first hearing his story told from someone else, but I certainly felt it. Especially him looking back with pride on his accomplishments (house, car) and then the pain of selling the things that meant something to him (fish tanks.) His old friends not being there for him hurt. I really wish I could have helped him. “Hard for someone that never experienced him to be able to reproduce his charisma and charm.” Doug Aubrey “Finally got to watch your piece. It is beautifully written and executed. Boldly done.” Lori Wheet “Oh Kathleen. Brava. That was extraordinary. I am so proud of you for exploring your son's death. That was fucking powerful, and the actor did a great job.” Stephanie Weaver “I cried through your whole story. Your writing was amazing Kathleen. So raw. So real.” Laura Engel “Wow, Kathleen, great show and a very powerful, well-crafted piece.” Heather Urquhart “Terrific stories. Great actors all. Every one must have been a powerful, even cathartic experience to create. Loved them.” Bill Cox “Wow that was a very powerful piece of work.” Gillian Moss “Well, I am in tears and otherwise I don’t have the right words.” Anne Lackey “So great, Kathleen! Proud of you :)” Kenny Sucher We were impressed with the reading of your memoir that was presented last night. Especially with the young actor reading it, it's just like [your son] himself telling his life story.” Michael and Lily McCabe “Wow, Kathleen! Very powerful memoir piece. I'm so sorry for the loss of your son. Addiction is such a heart wrenching burden. It takes a lot of courage to really mine the very deep stories.” Sue Stocker Your story was very compelling and well done by the actor. “What a heartbreaking story, and so fantastically written... “ Kathy Piper “Just watched the showcase..... so powerful Kathleen, well done!” Deb Rudell “Congratulations, Kathleen. I truly felt yours was one of the best, as it directly addressed the "Why not?" question. The [Showcase] choices were all superb. Yours stood out, I thought. I hope you were pleased with the actor's job. He seemed to have memorized the entire script. Quite a tour de force!” John O’Neal
