THE LIFE AND DEATHS OF FRANKIE D.

Stacy Gonzalez narrates an inventive paranormal story about a teenage foster child. Frankie's past is a mystery. When she begins having dreams about a 1920s carnival and its performers, she is shocked to find that their lives are intertwined with hers and that most of them are still alive. Gonzalez deftly portrays the characters, seamlessly moving between a variety of accents and personalities; however, her sibilance can distract the listener. Nonetheless, her performance of Frankie embodies the teen and captures the wide range of emotions she experiences throughout the story. Overall, a serviceable production.
