International Touring & Press
Narcissism and its effects on emotional health is a cross cultural conversation as
it presents in leadership, workplace, relationships, and family. It can feel isolating and impossible to find peace with a narcissistic parent, boss, spouse, or friend. Lisa's hope is to give a voice for change in the way we approach our self-care and self preservation, to connect international audiences, and to meet with potential collaborators to bring the show to Broadway.

Rave Reviews From The Audience
"A brave and authentic performance"
~ LISA C.
"Go see this! Lisa takes you on an emotional roller coaster... AND she can really sing!"
~ KAREN
"An incredible talent and amazing story of healing. A must see!"
~ SANDY
Incredibly well done. Would highly recommend!
~ AUSTIN
It really is baffling how the world tries to keep us small. Like that ‘Gopher Game’ in carnivals where you take a mallet and bonk peeking heads of gophers back in their holes. Lisa’s dueling personalities, ‘Warrioress’ and ‘Shame’ are in all of us as we grow and develop to discover who we are. Most of us can relate to the narcissistic parent whom we can never get approval from. Lisa is more than triple threat! Playwright, Acting, Song writer, Singing, AND Dancing? She needs a bigger theatre!
~ PAMELA
A very brave, honest and inspiring show. Our parents that are supposed to be our guiding lights do not always come properly equipped with the life tools we need to help us solve our problems, and when their toxic behavior is in fact at the root of many of our problems, it can be quite a journey to overcome them. This show takes us on that journey, and shows us the light at the end of the tunnel!
