Testimonials

“Canada’s Drag Heals actually is drag’s best friend race. The show, which was created by Tracey Erin Smith, features no eliminations and an abundance of group hugs. The cast is an inclusive mix of backgrounds, ages and genders. Drag Heals Is the Queer Representation We Need On TV.”

“I came to SOULO with my dukes up, a real know-it-all. Tracey grabbed my heart so quickly. After the first three hours I was giggling and bouncing around like a kid. I was free to tell my story and it felt F&%KING GREAT. I recommend it not just to performers, but to all humans.”

“For the first part of the theatre workshop I tried to hide who I was and what I needed and wanted to say behind a lot of intellectualizing, theorizing, and bullshit. I didn’t necessarily do this on purpose. But no matter; it wasn’t going to work. Tracey has the gift of insight. As in, she’ll see right into your center, and in the most gentle and tough way, bring something out of you that is vulnerable, and strong, and exquisitely beautiful. I am not finished this unfolding. Tracey got me started. I would work with her again in a heartbeat.”

“Tracey Erin Smith is extraordinary––a trustworthy, compassionate, and enthusiastic midwife for every participant's truth. Both our shadows and our brilliance. A powerful, wise and funny dimension of myself came up from the depths, out of the shadows, onto the stage and into the rest of my life. Tracey is a most generous-spirited, truly original and creative human being.”

“This course has changed my life. I finally know why I’m here on this crazy earth. To tell my story. The SOULOTheatre class showing was the first time in my entire acting career that I felt people have seen the real me. My friends were stunned, and so thrilled for all of us. I learned so much about myself and am so grateful to have shared my experiences with a group of such wonderful, powerful women! Let the inspiration run rampant!”

“I came into the class feeling skeptical that my story would be of any interest to anyone but myself. What I found was a wonderful group of people who validated my life’s narrative and helped me to give my story value through the creation of my 10 minute piece. This workshop is guided by a woman with enough wisdom, depth and personal experience to boundlessly lead all of us down the rabbit holes of our inner souls.”
