Theater Review: Eliza Jane Schneider's "Freedom of Speech" at the HCC auditorium

Maybe it was growing up on a Chippewa reservation that made Eliza Jane Schneider care so much about people.

Or maybe it was her mother, an attorney specializing in Native American law.

Or her adopted Vietnamese brother, who always took their war games just a tad too seriously.

Whatever the case, make no mistake that her one-woman show, “Freedom of Speech,” which she’s performing again at 7:30 tonight at the HCC auditorium in Tampa, is as much about American identity as it is about the spectrum of dialects – and thought – she so perfectly imitates. It is these, the, “lost and disenfranchised voices of a splintered nation,” that make Eliza Jane more than just another ex-"South Park" voice artist.
