Matilda The Hun ..The Raw Meat

ashley karp · July 05, 2025 certified reviewer
Matilda The Hun - The Raw Meat is a stunningly beautiful tribute to a one of a kind talent Deanna Booher, with each moment perfectly orchestrated and told by the wonderfully enigmatic duo Robert Nguyen and Tracee Meltzer. The most magical component to this production is you can absolutely tell that Robert and Tracee adored Deanna, and their passion to describe her legacy was eminent from start to finish. Touching, heartfelt, funny, and honest, Matilda The Hun will forever be remembered and honore... full review

Oh Constantine!

ashley karp · July 01, 2025 certified reviewer
A hilarious take on history as we know it, Oh Constantine! holds no bars on the hysterically ludicrous nature of how religion came to be. The energetic cast of Oh Constantine! was a pleasure to watch, and as every scene unfolded, it was like watching best friend's having a blast putting on a play for a sold-out house. The writing was topical, sharp-witted and thought provoking. Congrats to the talented cast and crew on this entertaining production!... full review

Trans Mom vs. Family Court: Justice Sees No Gender

ashley karp · June 30, 2025 certified reviewer
Rejyna Douglass-Whitman is a true testament to the truth will always prevail, and never giving up is always the right answer in this incredibly touching, soul bearing piece Trans Mom Vs. Family Court. Rejyna's bravery is extraordinary in every way, and her tale is a reminder of our current legal system and why standing up for LGBT rights is so important and necessary today and everyday. Rejyna also is an insanely incredible musical mastermind, and her guitar and singing original material througho... full review

And Her Children

ashley karp · June 30, 2025 certified reviewer
And Her Children is one of those pieces of theatre, that, after watching, you'll never soon forget. And for damn good reason. And Her Children is an absolute masterclass in theatre, from the raw, unfiltered, heart wrenching writing about gun violence in America, to the insanely remarkable and captivating performance from Hailey Mcafee, to the profound direction from Rosie Glen-Lambert, to the seemingly simplistic to the hauntingly beautiful violin work by Ilana Waniuk, this is by far my favorite ... full review

Moments in Flight

ashley karp · June 30, 2025 certified reviewer
Aidan O Connor is a modern day Lucille O Ball in this gut busting, hilarious, and incredibly touching piece Moments In Flight. From lights up to lights down, Aidan is 100% on, and each character portrayed in what has to be the most unhinged and eclectic passengered flight in the history of flights is truly one of the most hilarious pieces I've seen all Fringe. I would be both scared to be on this plane and I would also enjoy every second of it, especially the in-flight movie (no spoilers, but Aid... full review

"Magic Mic"

ashley karp · June 29, 2025 certified reviewer
When the next generation of The Lonely Island meets the quirky redemption ark of discovering the heart to dancing like nobody's watching (but they definitely are), you get the splendidly hilarious work that is Magic Mic. Creative geniuses Sam Pozen and Frankie Alvarez Lora invite the audience into their world of their caring bromance effortlessly, and each scene felt like it could've been filmed and set as individual episodes of a mini series (which, in my opinion, they totally should do!) Every ... full review

RUGBURN

ashley karp · June 29, 2025 certified reviewer
Raunchy, raw, touching and absolutely glorious to watch, Rugburn's leading star Mat Sanders delivers an exponential showcase of vulnerability, hilarity, and true talent. With true life stories intermixed into a dazzling blend of enchanting songs, captivating breaks into past life trials and tribulations, and a splendid sprinkle of lewd comedy throughout, this is one of the most memorable shows I've seen all Fringe season. Mat and Telly Kousakis created a play masterpiece that is sure to take Edin... full review

STAGE MAMMA: From Child Star to Leading Lady

ashley karp · June 29, 2025 certified reviewer
Rheagan Wallace's dazzling life story on full display was a wonder to witness in the gorgeous production Stage Mamma: From Child Star To Leading Lady. Rheagan is a joy to watch, and her life story of living through the life as a successful child star is inviting and whole, with each clip and showcase highlighting the monumental memories in her adolescence to adult chapters. I felt instantly connected to Rheagan's story, as mine as a child actor meshed so similarly, with living at Oakwood, extra ... full review

The Jared Show

ashley karp · June 29, 2025 certified reviewer
The Jared Show is a sidesplitting blend of the Eric Andre show meets Between Two Ferns, and I loved every second of it. Perfectly cast with an animated and lively ensemble. Each guest got more and more ridiculously and hilariously wacky. I loved not knowing what was going to come next. A lot of fun to watch!... full review
