Tell Your Story: The Art of the Autobiographical Solo Show

“Mr. Hoverman, with an intense brow that belies his gentle manner, told the students... “people get overwhelmed because they don’t have someone to be that supportive, believing mirror for them.” That becomes his function, he said, adding, “I’m the audience until the audience gets there.”
“Writer/performer Karen Fitzgerald has an easy assured presence on stage and her story flows out of her with humor and candor... Her smooth, simple, and confident delivery is tribute to Matt Hoverman's experienced hand as director and midwife of solo shows.”
