I didn’t know what to expect, but was taken within the first few minutes of the show. A thoughtful diary of the authors experience in theater and how it related to the Star Wars Epic. Funny, engaging, and poignant. I really enjoy the show.
Thanks so much!
I don’t even know where to begin, other than to say throughout this WHOLE show I had that meme “she just like me fr” stuck in my head. She’s right around my sister and I’s ages, so a LOT of the cultural touchstones- pop culture references, “awakenings” (JTT, especially in his bowl cut era, are you KIDDING me) and specifically nerd culture- were so familiar to me I felt like we were old school friends or estranged cousins. That said, I think this is a show that can be enjoyed by folks of all ages- well, at least high school and beyond. Maybe the younglings still need some time… 😛 All in all, absolutely delightful show. I’m hoping to bring some friends to see it again next week!
Thanks so much! I hope to see you again!
Princess Leia teaches acting classes and makes out in the theater!? A fun side of the Star Wars saga impacting our society, paradigms, and A New Hope for a lady to find her Han Solo.
Victoria is a pro storyteller. In a speed of light instant, she takes us from her comedy and acting adventures in Chicago to a galaxy far, far away, and then shows us that it might not be that far after all.
What’s it like to date a C3PO, Luke, Han, Vader, and Chewbacca?
Treat yourself to finding out in this thoughtful, playful look at life and love. =)
What fun! Thank you Victoria!
Victoria ties her coming of age story to key elements of pop culture. The presentation is perfect and stayed with me.
I recommend this show to those that want confirmation that the standards of Star Wars are unachievable.
