A Therapy Session with Myself
"...a really amazing show with a super important message! It was a good reminder to check in with yourself and to not ignore what your mind is telling you. As someone who deals with mental illnesses, it was really amazing to see my struggles portrayed on stage in such a truthful way!"
-Fit for Broadway
"This is not a comfortable play, but it is an honest one ... It is a truly moving play that provides unflinching, unedited, and honest insight into how some with Aspergers syndrome, as well as social anxiety and depression, might be feeling."
-OnStage Blog
"...a thought-provoking and entertaining exploration of one artist's struggle to move through mental disorder to a better self-understanding and state of self-acceptance and worth."
-Five-Star Arts Journals
"... a well constructed play. Mr. Piccione tells his story, and integrates the flashbacks with considerable skill. [The performances] are solid and effective. The dialogue is beautifully written, and the ancillary personalities well thought out. "
-Hi! Drama
"...a glimpse of what life can be like when we let our phobias get the best of us."
-Opplaud NY
"Absorbing, Thought-provoking, Brave, Intense, Relevant"
