Could I Have This Dance?
What struck me most keenly about this production when I sat down to write about it was how much I laughed. Not something you might expect to do when seeing a play that revolves around a disease.

My Uterus: A Womb with a View
Dina has an incredible way of embodying her characterizations. She’s wickedly funny and piercingly accurate reenactments of some pivotal moments in her life were wonderfully done. It took me back, as many other women in the audience, to similar experiences in my life, good, bad, amusing and unforgettable.
