Tony Danza's Letterz 2 2Pac: an Evening with Tony Danza

abby schachner · June 18, 2016 uncertified reviewer
Steve is a talented writer and performer, and he allowed me to look at comedy in a different way last night. His danza was great and his letters with 2pac were very entertaining. I think if you're looking for a light, funny, quirky show, this is a great one to choose.... full review

Code:197 DWB (Driving While Blewish).

abby schachner · June 18, 2016 certified reviewer
Benny is a likable, comfortable performer onstage with a great set of pipes and a lot of information to share. he covers a lot of territory, including his Judaism, (bludaism)? but I think he could've actually done a full 45 minutes about being Blewish (and his passion about it etc etc). I mean Benny! I grew up with orthodox relatives, and I don't have half the passion that you do! ... full review

American Man Dream

abby schachner · June 18, 2016 certified reviewer
It's a charming, funny, honest way to spend an hour, and Vanessa will definitely make you smile and laugh and realize… we've all been stuck in some way ( sexual or otherwise)... and sometimes the process of getting unstuck is sloppy and unpredictable ... but it's worth it. ... full review

PATRIOT ACT

abby schachner · June 08, 2016 uncertified reviewer
To me, Patriot Act is 'the big short' of politics in a small black box theater. The same passion, interesting approach, and a whole lot of wisdom is packed in. And whether you're knowledgeable about politics (or not) or heck, even if ur on your way to Canada, go see Patriot Act. Mike Schlitt is always worth it, and you might even leave being a better American! And if not that, at least you'll feel better!... full review

The Poe Show

abby schachner · June 25, 2015 certified reviewer
totally fun! totally funny. great cast and set of characters. LOVE THE COMMERCIALS. and really, you're in such good hands with brendan hunt. this guy is so good at what he does. so adept at comedy and improv and just... someone that you oughtta go see onstage. seeing talent like him and the others feels so good. ed goodman was a great twain (look, I say the names I know, what do you want from me?) and the direction was superb (to keep it moving as you did and being clear) but everyone onstage del... full review

Why Water Falls

abby schachner · June 25, 2015 certified reviewer
in my opinion, this was one of the best written pieces in the fringe. it flowed. it made sense. it was easy to follow. and leigh was lovely. she shared and didn't hold back and we were with her every step of the beautiful way. it's 90 minutes, which frankly, scared the bajeesus out of me, and not many people can hold an audiences attention for that long (much less one person), but Leigh did it so adeptly and effortlessly, you will experience many moments of timelessness. And if you work with kids... full review

Nurses and Hypochondriacs

abby schachner · June 25, 2015 uncertified reviewer
this was really a wonderful idea. nurses and their patients... hypochondriacs... the whole shebang. when i attended the show, it was moving, funny, and I got a different perspective (especially being the daughter of a doctor). ersilia put together a great evening of various people sharing their hearts and souls, and I came away with a better understanding of struggle and patience (and patients, as it would be, too). Just a fun (and at times, a deep, moving) evening. And all brought to you by a nu... full review
