Acclaim for Dirty Laundry - Entertainment for Mental Health:
“Thanks for the courage and chutzpah to perform this incredible piece of drama, or I think better to say, piece of life, yours and thousands like you. I found your sincerity, honesty, and willingness to express directly the emotional effects of childhood traumas to be deeply moving.”
Moyra Mulholland, Ph.D, Theatre, BSCCA (retired) - Gabriola Island, BC
“Dirty Laundry is thought provoking . . . stimulating . . . and spell-binding! Without a doubt, Marilyn is a passionate Truth Teller.”
Irene Martina, Author of "Dream Talk" - Edmonton, AB
“I have coached over 1000 people in my work, and I would have to say that Marilyn and her story have had the most powerful impact on my life. As she courageously tells her story you will understand yours much better. What an inspiration!”
Doug Stevenson, Story Theatre - Colorado Springs, CO
“Marilyn Avient in Dirty Laundry captivates the audience as she tells the story of Judy, a woman who experiences trauma and, as a result, develops serious mental health problems. The play offers hope to individuals that suffer from mental health problems, as well as family and caregivers; and kindly allows professionals to see themselves in the mirror. It is well done, tasteful, and suitable for mature audiences.”
Marie Fast, Clinical Manager, Mental Health Services - Whitehorse, Yukon
