Press Raves for Maria Glanz & SEE ME NAKED
“Maria Glanz crafts a strange, beautiful, thoughtful show. Glanz is fascinating, and this show takes the strangest route to being thought-provoking of any show I’ve seen at the Fringe. 5 Stars.”
- Liz Nicholls, The Edmonton Journal
“Ways you may feel about being naked: humiliated, humble, humorous, hairy. Whatever – bring it on, Maria Glanz can take it. She’s brilliant… A cross between Julia Sweeney and a Chatty Cathy doll, Glanz is at once fragile and powerful – kind of like the naked human body itself.”
- Seattle Times
“A comic, compelling hour exploring society’s attitudes on nakedness, and why we feel the way we do about being in the buff. 4 Stars.”
- Jenny Gabruch, Saskatoon Star-Phoenix
“Glanz proves a cunning performer who exposes her vulnerability about her body long before anything else. The naughtiness has been stripped away, and we are left with a woman making us look in the mirror. 5 Stars.”
- Kevin Prokosh, Winnipeg Free-Press
“Maria Glanz is almost excruciatingly vulnerable in her solo show. It begins with a hilarious attempt at a striptease, then turns into a presentation – complete with cue-cards – on nudity through the ages. Glanz is so disarming that you soon get into it. The title is not just a teaser. We do. And she’s lovely.”
- Amy Barratt, The Mirror (Montreal)
“Depending on the crowd, one could rename this one-woman (and one-drummer) show: See You Naked… Written and masterfully performed by Seattle’s Maria Glanz, this play is a thought-provoking exploration of body image and concept of nakedness. 4 stars.”
- Mike Ross, The Edmonton Sun
“Words cannot describe how pleasantly surprised I was by this piece. Maria Glanz delivers a warm, sensitive meditation on our relationship to our bodies that is amusing and inspiring. 5 stars.”
- Kurt Spenrath, SEE Magazine (Edmonton)
“Likable, entertaining, and sometime even laugh-out-loud funny. And brave.”
- Seattle Post-Intelligencer
“It’s easy to see why Fringe veteran Maria Glanz is so popular – she’s smart.”
- The Stranger (Seattle)
