"I laughed, I shed more than one tear and I laughed some more! The 'truth' of growing up in a single parent household without melodrama and without sugar coating. A fantastic collection of memories presented in a bold and enthusiastic manner by 2 magnificent actresses." Michelle Patrick

"Mother Load is one of those pieces you will not soon forget. Intelligent, sensitive, hilarious, it changes constantly from childhood heartbreak to scenes so funny I found myself embarrassed by the volume of my own uncontrollable laughter. This piece is insightfully written, performed, and directed..." Tim Stocker

"It's light and familiar, a sort of rallying cry for those women who endured the isolation and the stigma of raining a child alone in the age of Donna Reed..." Emily Baillargeon Russin, Seattle Weekly
