This show was incredible. I was absolutely blown away by Christopher's storytelling abilities, but his vulnerability is what really made this show sing. When I first heard what Christopher's show was about, I didn't know what to expect; but seeing the show come to fruition after months of preparation and anticipation for his father to join him in Hollywood totally exceeded my expectations. It's clear that though his father is a ham, he is not a professional performer. The unpredictability and ra... full review

Jon is an absolute pro and veteran of the stage, and it shows. His writing, style, comedic timing, and total charm had us, the audience, with him before we even saw him on stage (spoiler alert: we HEARD him before we saw him ;). Jon has an incredible balance of heart, humor, and humanity in his stand-up, which immediately made me a fan. He has no problem using his platform to broach current events, and I commend him for doing so with care and comedy, while staying true to himself.... full review

Vanlyfe is an absolute triumph. A masterpiece. I was completely and utterly blown away by this show. The writing, the acting, the immersive experience of the actual, real-life van and tents they performed in, everything was so well thought-out and carefully curated. This show BURSTS with heart and the earnest message of how important it is to take care of each other. With the current state of the world, and the current state of Los Angeles and the homelessness crisis, this show is a must-see for ... full review

Mayuri is an absolutely astonishing performer and storyteller. I was mesmerized from start to finish, totally in awe of her talents. The show opens with a showcase of both her insanely impressive physical capabilities and her comedic skills, priming the stage for a stellar experience. This show has so much heart, social and cultural justice advocacy, vulnerability, and raw skill. You will leave this show changed!... full review

Liza has an incredible stage presence, with the literal energy of a SUPERNOVA! She is extremely raw and vulnerable in her show, laying everything out for us to experience on her journey with her. The show had laugh-out-loud comedic moments, MULTIPLE original songs with a LIVE BAND!!!!, and heart-wrenching storytelling moments. She is such a natural and comfortable storyteller and performer. ... full review

Valley Kids unite!!! Emma is incredibly fresh, unique, and hilarious. She has such a strong stage presence, and knows exactly what her voice and style of humor is. There were moments where she gave me Napoleon Dynamite/Pedro on steroids vibes - which is my FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME - but even then, her show and performance are in a league all her own. ... full review

Chris Siders and the Silhouettes company are extremely passionate about what they're doing, and it shows. Everyone in this show gives their 100% from start to finish. I thought Kyle did a great job leading the band. This show is incredibly ambitious - there are actors, a dance troupe, singers, and a band, with many moving parts that make this show a big beast to tackle. Congrats to the whole Silhouettes company for giving it all and making it happen. ... full review

I LOVED this show! Eccentric humor, surreal settings, and deeply personal and vulnerable. Unexpected and totally up my alley. Emily is so funny and such a smart writer. I appreciated her portrayal of OCD, and felt the show was extremely relatable. I was totally engaged for the entire 50 minutes (which can sometimes be tricky for us neurodivergents ;), and I couldn't wait to see what was next!... full review

Jean is absolutely adorable! I loved hearing her story and witnessing so many different sides of her through her show. I'm inspired to learn more about the world of kink because of it - the care and tact her team put into explaining the BDSM world while also making the show personal and educational made this show very enjoyable. ... full review

I was floored by this show. The writing was extremely well done, with so many hilarious moments, characters, and a thoughtful story arc. The actor's performances were absolutely STELLAR. I felt like I was watching a show off-Broadway or a Netflix series. Truly, so impressed by the talent of this show and blown away that this was its premiere - the show is so polished and thought through, with simple but captivating blocking and production design.... full review
