"Well acted... with aplomb"
"This is an intelligently made, well-acted one-woman show about the life of a Russian Jewish immigrant who travels alone to America at the turn of the century. Kate Fuglei plays Rachel Calof, tackling the tricky accent and songs with aplomb. She shines especially on the early numbers 'Lullabye' and 'America' which captures the frightening thrill of heading to a new life and a new continent. The evening's worth is to see an actress invest so fully and successfully in a character."

"Unforgettable"
"In the one-woman show, Rachel Calof, the details of the the life a North Dakota mail-order bride Rachel Calof endured as an immigrant at the end of the 19th-century and the beginning of the 20th are harrowing but difficult to turn away from. As played by the expert Kate Fuglei, they become unforgettable."
