Stacey-Jean: Life Lines

SJeanSProductions—MTC Up the Alley

This piece tackles the ripple effect of childhood trauma with about as much force as a middle-schooler. For a show that had so much it wanted to say, it seemed unable to say most of it, as the performer often stumbled her way through vignettes, despite having the script in front of her. While her pleas to look after oneself is admirable, her message had to be force fed in the face of monotonous delivery, poor prep, and apparent aversion to engaging the audience. Putting on a show to begin with is commendable. Preparedness is, however, expected.
