Emma's performance is so emotive and powerful throughout this clever show. I was absolutely captivated as were my friends who were at the show with me. Thank you!

Riveting. Transformative. Artistry.

"Man: a One Woman Show" is a dramatic piece that doesn’t Mickey-Mouse around.

The actress captivates with every subtle move and expression, instantly transforming between characters—father, child, mother, teenager, and more—without costume changes or makeup.

Fragmented storylines weave together seamlessly, showcasing the depth of her craft.

Definitely sit in the front row to see these incredible transformations up close. I’ve already recommended this show to dozens of people since I saw it yesterday.

It’s not trauma drama. It’s not man bashing. It’s human. It’s the work of an artist who has truly mastered her craft.
