REVIEWS & ACCOLADES
"Martín Zimmerman’s one-woman play, which premiered in New York just this year, is a stark drama, expertly performed by Jane Froiland under the direction of Lucas Skjaret."
"Froiland holds the audience rapt with Zimmerman’s technically precise but emotionally raw monologue."
Jay Gabler, City Pages
On The Exhale received a 5/5 Star Audience Rating and was the second highest rated drama of the 2017 Minnesota Fringe.
