Press Raves for Maria Glanz & SEE ME NAKED

“Maria Glanz crafts a strange, beautiful, thoughtful show. Glanz is fascinating, and this show takes the strangest route to being thought-provoking of any show I’ve seen at the Fringe. 5 Stars.” - Liz Nicholls, The Edmonton Journal

“Ways you may feel about being naked: humiliated, humble, humorous, hairy. Whatever – bring it on, Maria Glanz can take it. She’s brilliant… A cross between Julia Sweeney and a Chatty Cathy doll, Glanz is at once fragile and powerful – kind of like the naked human body itself.”
- Seattle Times

“A comic, compelling hour exploring society’s attitudes on nakedness, and why we feel the way we do about being in the buff. 4 Stars.” - Jenny Gabruch, Saskatoon Star-Phoenix

“Glanz proves a cunning performer who exposes her vulnerability about her body long before anything else. The naughtiness has been stripped away, and we are left with a woman making us look in the mirror. 5 Stars.” - Kevin Prokosh, Winnipeg Free-Press

“Maria Glanz is almost excruciatingly vulnerable in her solo show. It begins with a hilarious attempt at a striptease, then turns into a presentation – complete with cue-cards – on nudity through the ages. Glanz is so disarming that you soon get into it. The title is not just a teaser. We do. And she’s lovely.” - Amy Barratt, The Mirror (Montreal)

“Depending on the crowd, one could rename this one-woman (and one-drummer) show: See You Naked… Written and masterfully performed by Seattle’s Maria Glanz, this play is a thought-provoking exploration of body image and concept of nakedness. 4 stars.” - Mike Ross, The Edmonton Sun

“Words cannot describe how pleasantly surprised I was by this piece. Maria Glanz delivers a warm, sensitive meditation on our relationship to our bodies that is amusing and inspiring. 5 stars.” - Kurt Spenrath, SEE Magazine (Edmonton)

“Likable, entertaining, and sometime even laugh-out-loud funny. And brave.” - Seattle Post-Intelligencer

“It’s easy to see why Fringe veteran Maria Glanz is so popular – she’s smart.” - The Stranger (Seattle)

Wow, this show was fabulous! Yes, we’ve heard all that “body acceptance” rhetoric before, but never quite like this… it was downright fun. Naked girl Maria Glanz is a natural and engaging monologist… The show is lively, interactive, thought-provoking, and funny look at the nature of nudity, nakedness, and the body. Very original. http://www.blork.org/blog/fringe02/

“See Me Naked” is not in competition with Déjà Vu-type entertainment. It is more philosophical than that. It includes musings about emotional nakedness, body images and the tyranny of perfect figures and physiques as portrayed in commercial publicity. Audience nakedness or seminakedness is optional. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/theater/137049_fanf29.html

With intelligence, humor, and more than a little chutzpah, Seattle performer Maria Glanz presents her critically acclaimed show exploring the many ways society views being naked -ttp://www.southjersey.com/articles/?articleID=12991

“It begins with a strip tease that doesn’t go very well,” said Maria Glanz, the creator and performer of See Me Naked, a one-woman show that will come to the Blue Barn Theatre July 12 and 13. http://www.jrfielding.com/viewstory.cfm?StoryIndex=270

Humiliated, humble, hairy — however you feel about being naked, Maria Glanz can take it. The cheeky title — See Me Naked — lures us to see her strip, then Glanz masterfully turns the farcically abortive striptease (stuck zippers, unhold-able poses) into an hour-long inquiry into the relationship between flesh, ego, and why being naked is such a big deal. http://www.theatermania.com/content/show.cfm/show/15299

Ways you may feel about being naked: humiliated, humble, humorous, hairy. Whatever — bring it on, Maria Glanz can take it. She’s brilliant as the kooky, neurotic, nameless character who lures us to see her strip while accompanied by a drummer…
