comments:
"Bridge Markland’s performance had me entertained from beginning to end. Her raw and interactive gestures towards the audience
make you feel as if you are part of her experience, not just an observer."

"I had no idea what to expect going into Bridge Markland's lecture performance. But what I witnessed was far more then I could have expected.
The performance was sentimental, provocative and entertaining all in one, I highly recommend!"
