A Shakespearean take of "The Breakfast Club" with high-value production and dialogue that pays a great homage to the original.

If Inside Out was a play, this was a concoction of emotions, playing with all the facets of oneself. This play talks about the realness of self-image, insecurities, imposter syndrome, and having all the voices in your brain brought to life in the theater.... full review

Those who do not read history are doomed to repeat it. This is an exhibition showcasing the importance of art to share a story of why this show must go on. It's simple but expands on the intersection where we are as a country, to where we are heading.... full review

Lovable and silly, Mark is the manifestation of letting the inner child play and have fun. Mark flexes the boundary of creativity, "simulating" a survival influencer like that one episode of "The Office" where Michael tries to survive in the wilderness but cranked to 100. This is a break from the mundane of ordinary life as Mark really takes you out there.... full review

I'm consistently impressed with Mandy's skill of coming up with an extended metaphor that bridges humor to the pains of child neglect with the realest dialogue from a phenomenal cast that captures human adolescence. With humor and hurt, I felt this in my soul.... full review

Jackie's one-woman musical was a mixture of adorable, funny, and vulnerable storytelling from generational trauma, BDSM, Asian-American experience, relationships, and more. Great transitions in her music, character impressions of friends/family, and rope play. A roll of emotions.... full review

Very impressive allegory of using the silly metaphor of a dinosaur to represent sexual abuse/trauma of an inner child. Way to present a heavy topic with well-balanced tension, drama, silliness, and a way for the main character to heal from it. Be ready to laugh, cry, and feel everything. Tickles the heart, warms the soul, and makes you leave the theater feeling good.... full review

Through the intersectionality of the traumas a Black, queer man experiences in life, Siders bares vulnerability and rawness, loading the audience on an emotional ride through grief, pain, love, loss, and toxicity through music, dance, and vignettes. The music was of excellent composition with a stellar live band and singers in this hip-hop musical. The content is weighty, and you should be forewarned to prepare yourself to bear the weight of Sider's content. ... full review

A silly, weird ride through sci-fi corporate bureaucracy. The goofy shenanigans start from getting in line to being escorted out of the exit. The actors were all fun. This is a staple of what a fringe show should be.... full review
