Larry Cedar paints a vivid picture of Orwell's various Dystopias in this absolutely riveting one-man show. Simultaneously chilling and heartbreaking, "Orwellian" makes me want to go back and rediscover "Animal Farm" and "1984" all over again. ... full review

One of my favorite shows of the 2013 Hollywood Fringe. I'd say more, but judging by the other reviews, it's all been said before. Bravo. I'm looking forward to seeing more from these talented artists. ... full review

A brilliantly executed literary gut-buster that takes you on a highly irreverent romp through the Folios. The script is clever, the cast's comic timing is flawless and the show itself is perfectly produced for the Fringe. Catch it as a part of this year's Best Of. You'll regret it if you don't. ... full review

Now, I normally don't enjoy autobiographical one-person theare, but Jacquetta Szathmari has created an engaging and humorous tale of self-exploration that I was able to connect with, and I was very impressed. I'm so glad to have seen this show and to have gotten to know Jacquetta over the past few years through the Fringe Festival. She is an incredibly talented comedian and storyteller in the vein of Mark Twain and other social commentators, and her show is not to be missed. ... full review

I absolutely ADORED this show. Jeffrey Wylie has created a wonderfully engaging and endearing character in Lyla, and her show is both entertaining and weighted with a surprisingly profound emotional punch. A wonderful commentary on relationships of all kinds for all ages, this show also tugged at my heartstrings with its compassionate treatment of the sensitive and relevant topics of adult bullying and gay teen suicide. I'm so glad to have seen this show this year, and I can't wait to find out wh... full review

I've seen Tales of the Extraordinary before, so I know what they're capable of. This is an incredibly talented group that has developed an awesome show and podcast with a strong, loyal following. Therefore, I came in with high expectations. When it came to this particular performance though, I thought the show was solid, but it clearly felt under-rehearsed. Now granted, all of the performers work on-book, since it's a radio drama, but it seemed to me like some of them hadn't even seen the script ... full review

This was not only one of the best shows I've seen at the Fringe, but perhaps one of the best shows I've EVER seen. Aaron Lyons is a consummate raconteur. Aided by the gorgeous and talented Ruth Fox, and backed by a swingin' three piece band, he holds the audience spellbound as he spins Shel Silverstein's epic tale live on stage. Do NOT miss this show. ... full review
