"Daryl Stewart is the epitome of VERSATILE. This piece was impeccably written and performed. What an amazing opportunity to watch such a transparent journey of self love and preservation! This show was my personal rebirth. It ignited an introspective inventory of the importance of self love. And for that, I cant thank him enough. Do yourself a favor and see it." - Melissa Douglass
