My greatest marker of success is when someone tells me after a show that I inspired them to keep making art. Too often mothers are sidelined by the demands of childcare during the years when they would be making mistakes and discoveries in their art. Then when they are relieved of caregiving and enter their prime they are rejected by an establishment that values youth and beauty over experience. Aileen Johnson, who reviewed my first show, Penis Envy, for DC Theater Arts said, "Being at the show was like spending the afternoon with a witty friend unafraid to say the things we are not supposed to say, your therapist, and your favorite political commentator all rolled into one." When the show came to Philadelphia, Gabrielle Kaplan-Mayer wrote of it in the Broad Street Review that "Penis Envy was funny, bold, poignant, sad, and transformative. Bondurant confirmed how women can internalize the misogyny of the culture that surrounds us, but she also described how we might free ourselves of that cultural bullshit. She dreamed of writing a great American novel but ended up finding her artistic voice as a storyteller."

“funny, bold,

poignant, sad, and

transformative…

the best kind of monologue show:

finely crafted and

intimately inhabited.”
