San Diego Union-Tribune
“Linda, played by the warm and engaging Samantha Gorjanc, speaks directly to, and interacts with, the audience… What the audience is about to see is her own faded but affectionate memories of a tumultuous time in the family’s lives.”
Erin Marie Reiter,
Broadway World
“Gorjanc is as warm and funny as Linda, balancing the bravado of a brainy kid ready to leave home with that childlike vulnerability lurking underneath.”
Kristen Nevarez Schweizer
Vanguard Culture
“Young, enthusiastic narrator Linda O’Shea (luminous Samantha Gorjanc) enters the spotlight and provides us with the genre, ‘This is a memory play.’”
San Diego Reader
“Chief credit must go to Samantha Gorjanc’s thoroughly winning performance... You have to really like these women — aunt, daughter, mother — for the play to work. I did.”
TR Robertson
The Vista Press
“Making her San Diego theatre debut, Samantha Gorjanc plays the excitable narrator tour guide with clarity as she goes between the maturity of a college student and still being a daughter living at home.”
