Alisha's Light - Forever 57
Forever 57 is a deep, funny, meaningful, and necessary. I've seen several iterations of this show and it keeps getting better and better. I'm so grateful to Alisha for sharing her story. See this!!
Alisha is everything I want to be at 57! She beautifully shares vulnerable moments from across her life. I was lucky enough to see an earlier version of the show, and this final arrangement is like a patchwork quilt, sewing together all her poems with theatrical elements. Alisha’s story empowers the audience to make transformations in their own lives.
This is a raw, vulnerable, true-life story of one woman's brave journey to live authentically. Alisha takes you through her discovery, transformation, and ongoing joy and struggle living as a transgender woman. There is something here for everyone.
Fun and engaging, as well as a beautiful reminder to stay true to yourself. Alisha's Light takes you through so many emotions.
Alisha is a master wordsmith. Having won previous poetry slams, she has an eloquent way of weaving words together that really take us on a journey, and this journey is soul-baring. Thank you, Alisha for your trans-parency. Bravo! 🤩
Alisha's Light is a powerful show that gives an honest and deeply human look into the transformative experience of Alisha. Focus is placed upon real human emotions such as love, rejection, friendship, identity, courage and belonging. This show conveys personal and authentic storytelling.
I watched Alisha’s Light at last year’s Fringe and returned again in 2026 because the show is so impactful. Through poetry and storytelling, Alisha invites us into the highs and lows of being a transgender woman in America. Her specific experience being in her 50s during her coming out is a unique perspective. I love that Alisha includes both difficult and empowering moments of her life journey in this show.
A beautiful and heartfelt love letter to her authentic self. I admire Alicia’s courage in today’s political climate. Thank you 🙏
Alisha's poetry is powerful and engaging from start to finish. She takes the audience on a personal journey that is emotional, heart felt and even funny. She even had the audience in tears at points throughout the show. If you're looking for a show that is deeply personal and touching then you will 100% enjoy hearing Alisha's journey of self love and descovery.
I was captivated by the first moment she began to speak. In a poetry form, she shared her life in her process of transition. What a very moving, joyful and educating performance. You will fall in love with her. I highly recommend taking the moment to book your ticket and then go see this beautiful piece.
Alicia's story is captivating. She has the guts to live her life with authenticity, and shares with us, in an enchanting way, how changes were made - despite the obstacles. What holds us back from living our truth, and what are the consequences? She sheds Light on the subject!
Oh my gosh, I love Alisha so much! You cannot miss her performance. You will be laughing and crying and will fall in love with her personality and that glowing smile.
