Although this was a show that poked fun at a few of the absurd characters Lindsey has met in her life it was also endearing. We may have laughed *at* all of the characters but we fell in love with them too. Also, I want to see another show where Lindsey re-enacts that story she told at the end of the play. I would love to see her become those people on stage and blow me away once again. ... full review

This show was painful to watch. Wait, let me explain. This is a good thing because pain is literally the coolest thing an Emo kid could ask for (it’s Goth-Speak for “really forking great”). I had actual flashbacks to Jack Skellington hoodies and shoelace belts. I looked down at my hands and suddenly I was wearing black nail polish and holding a T-mobile Sidekick. This show is FULL of hilarious, all-too-familiar references to everything your mid-00s emo self would die for. Get it? Because dying is... full review

One of the best shows at Fringe I’ve seen this far. This piece is so well done, so touching, so relatable, so playful, so full of freedom and joy. Amanda is a little kid again, and she holds the audience in her hand the entire time. I hope this show gets more attention. I know that I’ll for sure be recommending it because it would be a mistake not to see this.... full review

If you don't know anything about Melania Trump's antics you may not understand a lot of the jokes but if you're like me and madly stalk all the Melania Trump hashtags (#freeMelania, anyone?) then you'll get the jokes right away. Liana takes on a journey through the many different "shades" of a woman so many of us are curious about. My personal favorite was the Pussy Power one that made us have hope that Melania would be on our side until...(spoiler alert) she takes off her metaphorical mask and s... full review

Marla is so likable and it makes us fall in love with her and her show the second she steps on the stage. There is not a single part of her that the audience dislikes and we are rooting for her the whole way. I so appreciate and admire her honesty and candor and how she so easily transitioned from humor to devastation so smoothly and with ease. I hope she makes another show because I will for sure be in that audience. If you decide to skip this show, you are making a sorry mistake. Get your butt ... full review

Corina is a straight-up badass and if you don't go see this at the encore she will inevitably get you are missing out. ... full review

The chemistry between the actors was wonderful to watch. In fact, half of the fun was just watching them be playful together. I felt like I was watching a bunch of grown-up kids (wait...isn't this what adults are?) having a blast together on-stage. This show may seem like a light-hearted comedy and it most definitely is, however, it is also full of lessons on how covert racism is inherent in so many of us (especially white folks). As a white person myself, I definitely learned how easy it is to... full review

Like I said earlier, Drew's writing is playful, quick-witted, and sharp. He knows his audience is smart and can keep up. Jinny is the perfect match for his writing and she brings to life a young woman who is so entrenched in her avoidance of living that she lives in a dream within a dream. And she doesn't give the audience mercy either - we are in the dream too, whether we want to be or not. Perhaps this is how it is for Anna, too?... full review

Mad Spoiler Alert: Not all stories have happy endings. Some of them do. If We Run is one of those stories that could end either way. The cool part about this play is that it isn't obvious which way it's going to end, and even though part of you does want it to have a fairytale ending another part of you secretly hopes it doesn't. Because the latter is so much more heartbreakingly real and truthful. Matt's writing doesn't let the characters get away with having their heart's desire because at t... full review

You know Splash Mountain at Disneyland? Well, imagine you're on that ride but all of the moving animatronic animals are actually live people and there's no splashing water involved. Also throw in some Moonrise Kingdom set and costume design and Fawlty Towers witty back-and-forth dialogue and you've got yourself a very delicious final French pastry.... full review
