This Lily Was - Fontana
.
Best of the Fringe: Best Dramatic Female Solo Award at the 2006 San Francisco Fringe Festival. The Fresno Bee's selected "This Lily Was (Fontana)" of one of their Top Five Picks of the 2007 Rogue Performance Festival.
"Mia Paschal transcends her pain and reigns triumphant. This spectacle is pure poetry in motion. Whatever you do, if she's performing within a 100mile radius of where you are, you have to see it." - Jacqui Barnes
"This is a show that you must see. Mia Paschal communicates directly with her audience, effortlessly expresses an incredible range of emotions, exploring every aspect of her character. In an eyeblink, she moves from weeping despair to fiery defiance, from the depths of defeat to who gives a f*** insouciance. She's awesome. See it now." - Jaguar Bennett
"This show is serious business. Shot through with intense personal confession and executed with pitch-perfect precision.....Mia Paschal's performance is a beautiful, wondrous thing. DON'T MISS THIS SHOW!" - pc munoz
"This is an absolutely riveting experience. I can't say enough about the absolutely seamless way this story is told through various voices, all by one woman. I found myself alternately identifying with and marveling incredulously at the moods and emotions that carried me through this hour. There are so many wonderful things to see at the Rogue... but this is definitely in my top three recommendations, without question. We are lucky to have the chance to see it here. LUCKY, I tell you." - Joy, of Ananka Bellydance
"...the show is strong and moving. Paschal is a tough, triumphant presence. And the best thing is: She's still here." - Donald Munro, The Fresno Bee
