BIG SHOES, SHORT TALES, Michelle Nicole Matlock, Performer, Seattle, WA
In a voiceover, Michelle narrates in third person her own story--this strikes me as brilliant, and works to full comic effect. It is a charm bracelet of tales (if you will), of her arrival in New York and subsequent struggles (and triumphs) as a starving, striving actor in the big city. Thanks to her artistic creativity and well-developed theatricality, Michelle's honest, down to earth performance is both stirring and funny. What is evident is a talented performer who knows how to connect with her audience. The ending comes too abruptly, leaving us wanting more. Something to look forward to, after this inspired start.
