About The Play

KPBS arts reporter talks to Devra Gregory about a reprisal of her one-woman show, "Woman in the Mirror," and Impersonating Michael Jackson.

In this AWARD WINNING one-woman show, professional dancer and Michael Jackson impersonator Devra Gregory candidly shares her life's journey. Weaving the thread of her spiritual quests, Devra seeks to find deeper truth as a woman in a male dominated world. She recounts her evolution from a fearful child to becoming an empowered woman in a performance that is inspiring, courageous and wonderfully comedic. Throughout the show Devra performs many variations of dance she's experienced; ballet, jazz, burlesque, kids shows, exotic dance and Michael Jackson.

“It’s about transformation of the human spirit.”

— Devra Gregory

“Jessica was paramount in co-creating my award winning autobiographical one woman show. Jessica and I tirelessly worked for 5-6 hour sessions several days a week co-writing the original show, then rehearsing and putting it up on stage. Her expertise in all aspects of production was a gift to me from heaven!”

— Devra Gregory, Playwright and Performer
