ARLENE MALINOWSKI - What Critics are Saying

Arlene's award winning solo show has played to sold out houses and standing ovations throughout the country. Funny, touching and poignant, this is a story about hearing and Deaf, parents and children, love and forgiveness and finding yourself amid the clash of cultures... it is a story for anyone who has ever felt different.


"Arlene Malinowski, full of gab and one-liners, has her share of funny moments. A fine balance of jokes and pathos in a cozy and well-acted production."

LOS ANGELES TIMES

Theatre Pick of the Week - "A sheer delight. Malinowski is an engaging performer... Polished - there are laughs aplenty. Luminously affectionate."

    LA WEEKLY

"Poignant and comical... Malinowski soars easily and gracefully with her poetic hands, expressive voice, quick character changes, compassion and great humor. A piercing performance."

    BACKSTAGE WEST

"An honest, warm-hearted warts and all reliving of the difficulties and joy she faces living between two worlds and cultures, a bit of an alien in both. Her luminous inner beauty and devastating charm shines through her storytelling with an almost tangible beam."

    PARK LA BREA NEWS

"A slick and quick production worth seeing ... complimented by Malinowski's perfect comic timing and marvelous character work."

LONG BEACH TELEGRAPH PRESS

"Arlene Malinowski is a great scene stealer as she provides some of the funniest and most touching moments in the show."

PACIFIC NEWS & REVIEW

"Arlene Malinowski is delightful and brings a fresh, sassy but innocent quality. The Playhouse has a talented cast which provides wit and wisdom for an enjoyable evening."
