AUDIENCE REVIEWS
Rounding the third turn on the track? Hoping to get there? In All in Good Timeis gifted writer and performer Tulis McCall’s fearless and mordant take on the years ahead—and why we feel about them the way we do
“I don’t think I am in the obvious target market for a show called Are You Serious? A Woman Of A Certain Age Inquires, but I can tell you I was completely entertained by the brilliant and totally unique thinker Tulis McCall. She has an energy and presence that women (or anyone) not of a certain age will come away aspiring to. The evening was at times hilarious and at others, touching and provocative. I could not have enjoyed it more! Robert Creighton creator and star of Cagney The Musical”
Thirty years ago I produced the LA premiere of Tulis McCall’s one woman show, “Women I Have Known.” I produced it because Tulis was one of the finest writers I’ve ever read and one of the finest actresses I’ve ever known. Thirty years later, nothing has changed. Tulis is a treasure, a glorious gift to the theatre and all you have to do is come and see her new one woman stand up show,’Are You Serious -A Woman of a Certain Age Inquires,’ and you’ll become as big a fan as I am.
Folks, I am speechless ….and for those of you who know me, that does not happen very often. So, in short let me just say….if you want the PERFECT antidote for what we have all been going through these past few weeks, I implore you to go and see the beautiful Tulis McCall and her brilliant one woman show. My God!! Talk about putting your life and everything else back into perspective. I came out of there a changed person. It was as hilarious as it was thought provoking. Right now there are (sadly) only two more chances to see her. God-willing, someone will pick this up and give it the extended run it so desperately deserves.
I thought you did a masterful acting job, and the writing was insightful, crisp and witty. It’s clear that you’re an experienced and talented theater professional. You are comfortable in your body and use it completely. Your voice too is a wonderful tool in your kit that you use in its full range. Brava.
It was a real treat to watch you last night, but more than that, I felt like you were speaking what I think and feel. Getting older is a bitch that no one prepares you for and that happens in the fucking blink of an eye. I had a great aunt who had Alzheimer’s and died at age 100, 24 years ago. When she was about 85 and just starting the long slide into unknowingness she told me one morning that she was in the bathroom and looked in the mirror and saw an old lady. She was startled and looked around to see who it was and then realized it was her. She was very confused. “How can I be old? I don’t feel any different than I did when I was 25!” I know what she means now. Thank you for giving us WCA’s a voice.

A spectacular, witty, brilliant evening… Tulis speaks profoundly of aging but this is not just for women/people of a certain age. She will elicit big belly laughs and move you as well! Truly the best one woman show I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing.
Tulis McCall is a luminous wonder and I found her one-woman show, ARE YOU SERIOUS?, to be original, funny, insightful and moving. Bravo!
WCA (Women of a Certain Age) have a friend in the voice of Tulis McCall. People of any age will appreciate the artistry and wisdom in her beautiful, one-woman show, “Are You Serious?- A Woman of a Certain Age Inquires
It is a shame that our world, and specifically, our city, habitually turns its constant, unwavering appreciative eye to young dew-fresh women and often skips over those lined, bruised and wiser women beyond the age of twenty-nine. Tulis McCall mines the decades of her feminine experience, puts her whole self in the resulting spotlight for examination and pulls up gold. This could be the start of an overdue revolution.
I just adored last night and you! You are such an amazing writer, performer observer of the human condition. I was having a blast and then I cried. I bounced my way to the subway.
You set the stage ON FIRE!! You kicked some major BUTT!! And by the by, everyone around me felt the same way I did.
