Falling: a disabled love story

mark vigeant · June 23, 2025 certified reviewer
Aaron is a delightful storyteller as well as a mischievous trickster. I was spell-bound from start to finish, laughed out loud throughout, and went home thinking about ways I could be a better human. I adored this show!... full review

Titi Lee: Good Girl Gone Baddie

mark vigeant · June 23, 2025 certified reviewer
A vulnerable, funny, honest exploration of gender, family and tragedy. Life and death were contemplated and celebrated in equal measure. I left smelling like axe, thinking about balls, and crying. Exactly how I wanted to go.... full review

Todd Macabre

mark vigeant · June 23, 2025 certified reviewer
Yes I fucking enjoyed Todd Macabre! And frankly I don't wanna talk to anybody who didn't! A very playful way of portraying the beautiful, victorious transformation that Ian has gone through to accept all parts of himself. It brought tears to my eyes. Especially when he fucked the horse!!!... full review

None of Your Business

mark vigeant · June 23, 2025 certified reviewer
Reshma is one of the most captivating clowns I've seen. It's impressive to watch her draw in an entire room and play with our attention. Here she's taken the most basic and uncomfortable aspect of going to a party – smalltalk about movies – and drawn it out to absurd lengths. And in the process we get bursts of vulnerability that make the whole room shake.... full review

Soft Animal

mark vigeant · June 20, 2025 certified reviewer
A really thoughtful exploration of the experience of being alive. This one has stuck with me for a few days now… a particular sequence toward the end is a moving reflection of the modern human life, and illustrates George’s whole point that we are indeed soft animals at our core. I want to give this man and his prosthetic penis a hug... full review

Smile: The Story of Charlie Chaplin

Boy was this a delight. The rare kind of show where form met content perfectly— Marcel’s movement and clown was impeccable, and brought us lovingly into what made Chaplin so irresistable. ... full review

Except Myself

Thoughtful, playful, well-cast, heady, delightful exploration of the many facets of the self. Great performances rounded out a heart-warming script that made the whole room warm and hopeful.... full review

And Her Children

mark vigeant · June 17, 2025 certified reviewer
Devastating. Hailey McAfee is a phenomenal performer. Her portrayal of Anna Fierling is chilling. You are immediately charmed and won over by her as she justifies her despicable job. And as the story gets more deeply tragic, you can't help but see the humanity in this tortured person. Ilana Waniuk's haunting, hidden violin playing is the perfect backdrop. Rosie Glen-Lambert staged it perfectly. It's a masterpiece.... full review

Husky Whispers and Goof Present: The Last Swing

mark vigeant · June 11, 2025 uncertified reviewer
God damn do these boys go hard. I swear if Riley still has a voice on June 29th it'll because that man made a deal with the devil. This is just a FUN, STUPID, good time. It's funny, the musicianship is tremendous. It's a blast. Get off your ass and go to this show!!!... full review

QFWFQ

mark vigeant · June 11, 2025 certified reviewer
I was absolutely spellbound from the moment the pre-show announcement began to the moment the lights faded out. Within 30 minutes I knew I was going to rise to my feet the second it was over. Greg's writing is so sharp, so funny, so deeply personal, and their performance is captivating and human. It's rare that a solo show can unveil so much raw personal history AND hold the audience's hand through it in a brilliant and safe way. Highly, HIGHLY recommend. Wow. Also shout out: the set is delightfu... full review
