BWW Review: Diana Oh's {MY LINGERIE PLAY}, Glitter, Soap Bubbles, Anger, Art and Activism

It's just that, unlike many of her previous ventures, she's unlikely to encounter negative audience vibes, or actual physical harassment, in the defiantly progressive confines of the Rattlestick Playwrights Theater.
