Drama Queens, a five-star arts journal focusing on female artists

I AM GOING TO DIE (and all they gave me were these lousy cupcakes) is a thought provoking, entertaining show that tackles the issues of identity, death, and, of course, cupcakes, with humor and depth.

With its rather unusual premise of a death day party, one might think the show would lean morbid, but not in the hands of Sylvia Grosvold, who does a masterful job of bringing the nuanced script to life, deftly improvising with every surprise the audience throws her way.

Despite the tough terrain of a play centered around death, Grosvold brings a potent touch of humor, insight and absurdity. The show leaves its audience with new perspectives on death and life.
