Joe here, writing a review for the maker of things, and I must say, The Meeting is an incredible blend of innovation, imagination, heart, and poignancy blended with just the right amount of humor and soul. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with this immersive experience. Oddly scary at times with our current affairs in the world today and the subject matter discussed in the show with the other "Joe's", however this only heightened the performance elements, and I left wanting more from this "meeting" t...

With a masterclass in performance on full display in this grippingly emotional piece, Face Divided unravels the tale of two lovers at odds within their own internal worlds, ultimately finding faith in the aftermath of heartbreak and betrayal. Deborah Baum and Nathan Melsheimer showcased incredible chemistry, and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time, not sure where each turn was leading. Fantastic work!...

As a huge The Wizard of Oz fan, this classic tale spun into a farcical comedic masterpiece was right up my alley. The cast was infectious with palpable energy, knee slapping one-liners, quick quips and hilarious romps throughout the entire play. There wasn't a single moment when the play fell flat. In fact, if the entire play was on a 1 to 10 scale, this play was consistently at 11 with liveliness, vigor and passion from every performer. Fantastic ensemble. Molly Kauffman created a world in Oz th...

A delectable blend of raunchy comedy, educational teachings and riotous fourth-wall breaking material, Napoleon's Wh*re Sister is a show to remember. I adored the script writing, and the actors were perfectly cast in their roles, consistently feeding off of each other's quips. A perfect blend of improv with screenplay. ...

One word to describe Giraffes Can Kill: WOW. Lisa Gopman delivers a sincere and profound tribute to her late father in a honest and touching display filled with heart, grief, and honor in this soul bearing piece. I laughed my butt off, I cried my eyes out, and I left the theatre wanting gefilte fish, which rarely ever happens. A remarkable eulogy....

With a razor sharp wit and thought provoking material, Greg Nussen delivers an exceptional powerhouse performance in QFWFQ. The best quality to QFWFQ is you don't know where the story is going next, and the audience is consistently on their toes waiting for the next step. Greg stays on the pulse consistently, never waivering emotion and instead glides through each moment with effervescence and humor throughout the piece. Enjoyable to watch and a must-see this Fringe season....
