“...the
actor who most fully embodies the play’s tragicomic spirit
is the phenomenal Cherise Boothe, who plays a young
prostitute named Josephine. At the beginning of the second
act, we see Josephine dancing licentiously for a group of
soldiers. As she sways, her face flashes equal parts
exhaustion, joy, pain, and degradation. It’s a subtle,
closeup-worthy performance, filled with such ugliness and
such a profound understanding of the will to survive...”

Theatre "Tonya,
played with a mixture of warmth and brittle anger by Ms.
Boothe, also gives vent to her heart's fury...lamenting her
teenage pregnancy and the biterness of watching her
daughter making the same mistakes." Charles

"Cherise
Boothe is lovely in the role [of Michelle], another
balancing act that captures the vague discomfort and
emerging identity of a college student trying to figure out
who she is." Christopher
Byrne-Gay City News

Country Playhouse
"Cherise
Boothe is brazen, showy and terrific as Lou Bessie, the
mean little tart..." Alvin
