Dean Evans: My Finest Work

pam noles · June 08, 2026 certified reviewer
O.M.G. I had no idea what modern clowning involves, and I have been Changed walking out of this show in tears - some tears from laughter, the others from out of the blue unexpected emotional gut punch. Do NOT sleep on this one! Go see it! NOTE: If, like me, Scary Clown Makeup is a Thing? Trust Moi that this show doesn't have that element.... full review

In Search of Black People

pam noles · June 08, 2026 certified reviewer
Roz is a captivating performer and *knows* how to own a stage. This slice-of-life from her...life...was hysterical, moving and speaks to those who aren't even looking for Black people. Great, great experience!... full review

Uncle Tom:The true story of Josiah Henson

A deeply heartfelt overview of the enslaved man turned abolitionist rescuer whose true story of bravery and resilience has been lost to the minstrel fiction of Uncle Tom's Cabin. This is how history should be taught.... full review

Tamra Wasserman presents: This is Real, This is Me (by Tamra Wasserman)

This hilarious and heartfelt production is SO! MUCH! FUN!! Delicious acting combined with a fantastic roller-coaster of a story to create an authentic - yet surprisingly sympathetic - portrait of an insecure, fearful young woman desperate to be accepted or at least seen. Audience, make sure to read every word of the "program"!... full review

Batter Up: Double Play

pam noles · July 01, 2024 certified reviewer
I was very surprised at how much I ended up enjoying this, and sat all the way through it, and that's because of the performer's charm and enthusiasm for a topic I care absolutely nothing about. ... full review
