Heart of Golden Tar

lara repko · June 21, 2023 certified reviewer
I was really touched by this whole show. Drew has a skill for depicting human experiences in a unique way without being too "on the nose". His performance of a man searching for his missing wife hit home as more than just a story of yearning, but a story of learning to let go. ... full review

NOT Another Midsummer

lara repko · June 07, 2022 certified reviewer
We loved it! What a heart-warming, engaging show to end our Monday night. This cast really cares about their work and you can tell they really want you to enjoy it too. Every little detail was so well done. For ex: the lion’s mane tutu, the drinking game, the call outs to tech crew, and the puppet show. I was seriously so impressed by this production and had a total blast. ... full review

CAMP GINGER: AN ORIGINAL MUSICAL

lara repko · June 06, 2022 certified reviewer
This is a tale of a child trying to make sense of the world by creating his OWN world. In the beginning, Steve begins unsure of his surroundings and whether or not his many “colors” are acceptable in the world. He ends on a confident note, reminding himself that his many shades of colors are what makes him so unique. ... full review

Girl From Schenectady

Ayo does excellent character work. I enjoyed the unique way she told her story (at the airport) and how we traveled with her from destination to destination. Ayo is charming, comfortable on-stage, and so fun to watch. I loved the ending - I totally was NOT expecting it at all and I was so touched by her honesty ... full review

2 for 1

One of my favorite shows at fringe this year. What a perfect way to end my fringe viewing schedule! Absolutely beautiful, and very relevant to Millenials especially. Almost the whole audience were Milennials and there was something really powerful about that. I’ll be watching whatever these women continue to make because damn, that was good art. ... full review

Lincoln 2020

This show was seriously so good! I had barely any idea what it was about so I wasn’t sure if it would be a comedy but it is hilarious! One of my favorite ensemble shows that I’ve seen this year. ... full review

Let’s Write a Musical

WOW! What a treat! I am so so pleased that I got to witness this absolute joy. What a great way to end my Fringe schedule! I laughed, I cried, I felt my heart lurch, I loved this show and am so impressed by Lawrie and the cast’s talent. I wish Lawrie bowed on the stage because she deserves one hell of an applause for what she’s created.... full review

Supportive White Parents

Absolutely fantastic. Deserves top of fringe, deserves every award. It’s one of the best things I’ve seen at Fringe. I am so pleased I got to witness this expert artistic piece on stage. Watch out world, Joy is only just beginning to show you what she’s got. I, for one, will stick around for the ride. ... full review

Ask A Black Woman

lara repko · June 29, 2019 certified reviewer
Absolutely stellar show. I would watch this again. Shanara knocks it out of the park the second she walks onto that stage. She is fierce, unabashed, brave. This show is important because it is about a woman reclaiming her time and space in a world that so often takes those from her. Thank you Shanara for gifting us with these stories.... full review

Walking on Eggshells in Stilettos

Ann-Marie does fantastic character work. She swiftly transitions into each character with a moment’s grace, never shying away from her inner “little kid”, as I like to put it... full review
