Bunny the Elf LIVE!

matthew robinson · June 10, 2019 certified reviewer
A wonderful, funny, touching and impactful show. Told with wit, honesty and cheeky humor by Christi Pedigo this will be a fantastic addition to anyone's Fringe schedule. Cleverly told and performed by Pedigo this is a show that I find myself thinking about well after the show was over, and one I will remember years for now for it's craft, honesty and fun. It's a real feel good play!... full review

An Excuse To Behave Badly

matthew robinson · June 10, 2019 certified reviewer
A wonderfully written show with a real sense of authenticity. You feel like you know these women because they are so well drawn in such a short amount of time. A show that never gets too silly, nor too heavy it finds that perfect blend of realism and theatre antics to make you truly feel as if you are with these women on a wild night of partying. Jenni Halina along with Drea Garcia, Stephanie Sherry, Alex Owens-Sarno and director Kelsea Burke have a strong and talented command of dialogue and cha... full review

A well acted, well directed and crafted show that drops you right into the world of these characters and hooks you into to their daily life as it reaches a crucial apex.

Orangutan

This wild but simultaneously grounded show gives us a unique and sharp look at the origin of a demagogue and what leaders say about ourselves and those around him/her.

Pit of Goblins

A dark but sometimes funny entry into the world of theatre and horror. Pit of Goblins is a hard play to describe the mood of but that is what makes it worth seeing for yourself, wonderfully twisted, boldly confident in it's storytelling and deliciously macabre; it's a true piece of art.... full review

Sex and the Musical

matthew robinson · June 21, 2018 certified reviewer
A hilarious romp that just about everyone can find enjoyable whether they've watched every episode of "Sex and the City" or are like me and have never really watched the show. Wiley has made a gut busting comedy with side-splitting songs, jokes, running gags and all around fun! The cast is perfect and just about every moment you will find yourself laughing at their wild journey of friendship and cosmos!... full review

American Conspiracy

matthew robinson · June 21, 2018 certified reviewer
A production as suspenseful as it is hilarious! Overflowing with great performances, sharp writing and clever staging "American Conspiracy" is one of my favorite plays of the Hollywood Fringe. Schwartz seemingly effortlessly has created an intriguing story packed with memorable characters and moments that days later I still found myself chuckling about or mulling over in reflection. Ritchey of course directed this play to look and feel so lived in and pointed. The performances all around feel gen... full review
