MCL Chicago

The art of improvisation creates stories from thin air, making the unseen seen. For Amanda Rountree, this is not just an art form, but a way of life - one that includes unexpected twists and turns - leading, if not to mastery, to enlightenment. Written and performed by Amanda Rountree, and directed by Jen Ellison, the show follows the artist on her path filled with all the funny and touching moments along the way.

Chicago Tribune - Somewhat Recommended

"...Any personal story told with enough specificity can be interesting, no matter how navel-gazing, but Rountree hasn't written that kind of show (nor has director Jen Ellison helped with sloggy pacing). What does work is Rountree playing a younger version of herself and flashing back to her most humiliating moments. Her description of barprov - improv performed in bars - is spot on and very funny, as is her anecdote about working as a model at Dick's Sporting Goods. It is in these moments that she reveals herself to be a charismatic, watchable performer."
