"...L.A. theater treasure Rachel Sorsa delivers an extraordinary solo star turn in Ian McRae’s powerful but bleak Ruskin Group Theatre World Premiere drama Painted Ponies."

"...Ian McRae’s poignant one-person play is a recounting of one woman’s struggle to overcome a life-altering tragedy and find redemption for her role in it. Mostly somber but ofttimes comic, McRae’s writing is abetted by a sturdy solo performance from Rachel Sorsa. While the action on stage is limited, the talented Sorsa’s ability to convey varied emotional levels keeps the play from being static. Honed by Elina de Santos’s direction, Sorsa delivers a nuanced take on a woman whose psychic punishment is delivered not only by society but also by herself."
