To learn what Heather went through at such a young age, and to present it on the stage with such fierce honesty and courage is just remarkable. So happy to see such a packed house for a truly moving show. ...

Paul shines a huge light on discrimination against Asian Americans in the U.S. His piece is exactly what I love in theatre -- the opportunity to be entertained, while opening my mind up to something I had never considered before. Paul does that in the most inventive, brave way. I'll take him as my superhero any day. Well done!!!...

Beautiful and captivating. Christian's specificity in his characters, especially his mother, is just mind-blowing. That particular through-line of the piece -- his tribute to his mom -- just touched me beyond words. ...

I've had the privilege of now seeing 2 of Bonnie's last 3 shows that all deal with the topic of sexual violence. I enjoyed this one -- Magic School Bus -- the best. Her writing is witty and she does a superb job of involving the audience in clever and fun ways. But, the moment that is forever seared on my heart is her ending song. Still wiping away the tears. Well done, Bonnie. Your energy and creativity are truly magical to watch....

I had never experienced immersive theatre before and it was a blast! The writing was witty; actors were on it/great energy. What a fun "non-traditional" way to experience a play. Treat yourself to this show!...

Pure delight! Lynne transports us back in time to the mid-'50s/'60s and her life in showbiz. Her characters are so rich. Her pantomime/space work is spot on. And her phenomenal tap dancing will blow you away. I laughed out loud so many times and couldn't remove the grin on my face the entire show. Do yourself a favor and make plans to see one of Lynne's remaining performances. Just fantastic!...

Fantastic show. Terra takes what can be interpreted as an intimidating topic (understanding the Bard) and just brings it to life in the most magical way. She perfectly weaves in moments from her own life and how the words of Shakespeare perfectly coincided. Her energy and stamina is awe-inspiring. Without giving anything away, her rendition of Hamlet's infamous "to be or not to be speech" will bring tears to your eyes. A truly wonderful show at Fringe not to miss....
