Could be worse
Written and performed solo by Amy Oppenheimer, “Looking For Justice (In All the Wrong Places)” tells her true account of exploring her sexuality and becoming a feminist, an activist and a judge — all while discovering the true meaning of social justice. Oppenheimer’s honesty is raw, and at times hilarious, but it feels muddled by the disorganization and lack of clarity in her storytelling. While she has good stage presence and recounts her experiences with vulnerability, the show might’ve been more engaging with a full cast or if it were told more simply.
Presented by Amy Oppenheimer at Bryant Lake Bowl; 8:30 p.m. Aug 9, 5:30 p.m. Aug. 10 (with ASL translation), 1:00 p.m. Aug. 11
