  1. Carla’s performance was funny and honest. I love to laugh and Carla’s performance tickled my funny bone.

  2. Carla’s story was filled with warmth, honesty, lots of humor, and her customary charm. The core, for me, was intergenerational exchange between her and the “alter cockers” (old farts) that she worked with at a Jewish nursing home. Her ability to portray their endearing characteristics and how, in the end, they supported and nourished her “Chutzpah Awakening” was exquisite. Her storytelling is a treat and a joy that you should not miss.
