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.'"
