Charlene delivers a beautifully told story about discovery, advocacy, and the fight to never give up for what you believe is right. I learned a tremendous amount by watching "She's About to Pop!".

Suz is an absolute star in "More Joy". The captivating storytelling mixed with distinctive characters - ranging from people from her real life to inanimate objects - draws you in for quite a ride! I left the show deeply appreciative of all parents for what they have to do, and I left inspired by Suz's message: do what brings you joy. The entire show is packaged together so well - the pacing, the music, the stories, and the characters, all come together in what feels like watching a limited series... full review

The pacing, mix of visuals, the humor, and the heart of the story all came together in what was a perfectly put together hour. ... full review

Elias performs with such passion that you're transported from Hollywood to Broadway. The well-written story, the passion, and the flawless execution make Greek Viper one of the most compelling stage shows that I've seen. Elias morphs from one character in such a way that you leave wondering how that was one person and not a full cast. The original writing combines the humor and levity of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" with the suspense, grit, and sorrow of "A Bronx Tale". In one moment I was laughing... full review

One of the most captivating shows of Hollywood Fringe, "Prom Queen of Hell!!!" is "Carrie" meets "Rosemary's Baby" with a rock and roll backdrop that has you engaged from beginning to end. I loved the attitude of this show - dark, menacing, hilarious, dramatic, and visually stimulating. The lighting design and set decor bring you to the world of this teen's journey with her home life with a "Kathy Bates from Misery" mother and a cast of high school characters that have more secrets than the cast ... full review

A relatable story about how growing up never ends and how the twists and turns of life define what makes us a human. Frank's incredible storytelling ability makes you feel like you're in the scene itself - from childhood in Argentina, to coming-to-adulthood in Colorado. Franks paints an incredible coming-of-age story that's full of laughs and heartfelt moments. So relevant for today's times as we reexamine what it means to be "a man" and to the masculine. ... full review
