FACEBOOK REVIEWS after “Life on the Diagonal’ Performances

November Nov 20, 21, 2014 at 5 & Dime Warehouse, Jacksonville, FL.

Toni Lang Philips Thank you,Barbara, for reminding me about things I had not thought about in a while, like not being told what year I was born until it was"safe." And my sister teasing me about who my real mother was...and about why I keep my ears on alert when I'm in the shower, just because. No story beyond being a Black woman in America; just because...The beauty of your story is how specific it is. It's all you, and it brings me back to me. Thank you!

Daniel Austin Probably the most authentic piece of theatre I've ever seen. I'm so happy to know Barbara Colaciello- and happy to live on the diagonal.

Claudia Baker Barbara Colac ie l lo 's per fo rmance i s t rans fo rmat ive . Her willingness to share deeply personal defining moments in her life with grace, wit & intelligence, pretty much forces the audience to re-consider social assumptions and pretensions. Under the superb direction of Robert Arleigh White, Barbara draws the audience into her world and lays down the challenge to see life from her perspective. Believe me when I tell you that the entire audience last night will ingly followed wherever she lead. Bravo.

Judi Herring The show last night was inspiring in so many ways. Claudia Baker used the word transformative and I agree! Barbara brings the evening to life with incredible heart and human connection.

Jane Condon Beautiful and humorous and honest and brave was the writing and the performance.

Sarah Crooks Faire Thank you Barbara Colaciello for touching our humanity tonight in your powerful performance of Life on the Diagonal - friends don't miss out

Tehila Marks Barbara Colaciello, your show was the most moving performance I have experienced in the last few years! Thank you for sharing and making me laugh to tears, and doing your walk!
