Student Reviews - March 2000
On Wednesday, March 8, I performed Hand to Mouth at as part of an eating disorders awareness campaign at Capital University. The following are some quotes taken from student papers written after the performance... |
| "The
show was very well written, put together, witty,
encouraging, heart-breaking, inspiring, and an awesome
performance... Lisa Barnett is a very good actress and
promises to be more successful in her career in the
future" Nikki Woodland "Lisa Barnett did an excellent job of sharing her story... She shared her feelings of disappointment, frustration and fear. With the same reality she enlightened us with a positive feeling that bulimia can be overcome and one can appreciate herself for who she is." Deanna Deeter "Through Lisa Barnett, I saw a woman with incredible strength... Sharing her story is an incredible thing. She is bridging the gap; helping young women to see that it's okay to be themselves." Nicole Howell "I admire Lisa very much for getting through her struggle and using it to help others." Amanda Jones "[Lisa's] presentation was quite good because she injected humor into the presentation, even though it was about a very serious topic... I would recommend it for someone with an eating disorder to listen to Lisa talk and perhaps they could change their ways." Brian Novar "Lisa K. Barnett did a wonderful job portraying the mentality and the destruction of a person's life when plagued with bulimia... She told her story in an interesting and descriptive manor... Overall the presentation made me think about eating disorders in a new light, and it gave me a little more respect for those who overcome the pressures of the public and conquer the terrible disease." Brian Reinker Lisa did a tremendous job, not only in her acting, but also in the feeling behind her acting. She really opened up my eyes to how easily the disease can control you and how hard it is to overcome... Lisa did a good job depicting the true seriousness behind this prevailing disease and brought to my attention "warning signs" that I need to be looking out for in case I come across someone who is bulimic as well."
