Cleveland Performing Arts Examiner Review "Amy Pawlukiewicz plays a number of roles that serve as a kind of guide or narrator through the show. She provides information and interludes with confidence and poise, stringing together different parts of the show."

Cool Cleveland Review by Roy Berko"Director Fred Sternfeld and his large cast of adults and teens do a very credible job of developing the play’s ideas. The staging is creative and meaningful. Especially strong performances are given by Amy Pawlukiewicz..."

News Herald Review by Bob Abelman "Regnier is particularly interesting as a calorie-conscious coffee drinker and an aging, long-suffering ballet dancer, as is Pawlukiewicz as the generic TV actress whose guiding philosophy is 'thin is not just in, it is imperative.'"

Microscopes & Megaphones is a collaborative project that uses dance, theatre, audio and visual arts to explore "the problem that has no name" plaguing the modern woman today. With progress made in reproductive choice, education, the workplace and at home, the modern Western woman's oppression manifests itself through subtlety, innuendo and the places you least expect.

Offbeat and stripped down, Microscopes & Megaphones explores slutty fat girls, an oral sex memoir, baking as foreplay, the power of punctuations, the hypocrisy of language, degrees of touch and why Mom is the sexiest woman you know.

Whisper to a Scream: a feminist performance art collective is a collaboration of local artists. Its mission is to use art, awareness, action and advocacy to help eradicate the barriers that keep women from being recognized as full, autonomous human beings in society. Whisper to a Scream is proud to make its debut with Cleveland Public Theatre.

For mature audiences only! Contains sexual content and adult language.
