"Nicky Sunshine radiates her multiple talents in "Confessions of a Massage Parlor Madam". A brilliantly crafted one-woman tour de force! This show is intelligent, funny, honest, sometimes shocking, and hauntingly hilarious. A one of a kind journey with a massage...Ahem...message. I highly recommend it."

"Confessions" is part testimony, part cautionary tale where I try to bring awareness to such important, timely issues as abuse, trafficking and violence," says Nicky.
