“
A great little biographical play about a pivotal moment in the life of one of our most cherished comediennes. This made me want to look more into the life of Lucille Ball. Great job! ”

All playwrights who are discouraged need a mother like Lucille Ball's. This short play offers a pleasant change from a stage door Mama. Persistence! ”
