What a beauty. This was such a moving, emotional story that was right in my wheelhouse. Greg is such a compelling writer, and is able to unpack so much and weave in so many seemingly disparate threads (postmodern italian literature, identity, indoctrination, international crises, family crises, perfectionism around the creative process...) into a singular personal story with an emotional undercurrent that we all can relate to. It left me feeling very reflective and grateful for my life, and looki... full review

This show had me DYING. Stevie is such a versatile and unique performer, and each of these characters is distinct and absolutely hilarious. She's so fun to watch, and I love that she threads in her personal story to create a strong narrative arc around these absurd pieces. ... full review

Emily Maverick is a fairy godmother genius from another world, we all know it and we are all lucky to be in her orbit. This show is so joyful, so absurd, and has so much dynamic range and play... it all flows so effortlessly and is infectious. How someone from Antarctica can warm our hearts I'll never know... she is so present with the audience, and it is so easy to go along for the ride because she includes you every step of the way. Which is amazing, because the show is completely in gibberish.... full review

such a joyful, absurd and hilarious experience. Reshma has a natural to explore and drill down into one dumb idea and build on it until it becomes a thing of beauty! this character is so lonely and just wants to connect, and who among us hasn’t struggled through small talk? highly relatable and touching. i felt for this man. i am this man.... full review

i loved the chemistry between mia and squirm nicholas! this was a funny show that tackled processing and letting go of those difficult (yet familiar, so a little comforting…) things that are no longer serving us. i loved how it explored how hard it is to let go of any relationship, even the not-so-good ones.... full review

What a beautiful, hilarious and transcendent show. Meat is such a playful and engaging performer, this show flew by and covered so much ground. There’s humor, generational trauma, and a very important wrench. And you know I love a good dust bowl story. ... full review

This just might take the cake, folks. I have never laughed harder at something more stupid in my life. Cam is a pure clown, and he's created some true magic with this show. It's what every clown aspires to. He's so dialed in and full of joy, and he builds to a true moment of beauty from the tiniest nugget of stupidity. I found it to be incredibly moving and so funny. DO NOT MISS THIS SHOW!!!... full review

Honestly mindblowing. Rob is such a joy to watch, and you can tell he poured so much of him into this show. It's really a joy to see something so positive and aspirational, and I was literally blown away by the magic. It's a show that could be for all ages. It will restore your faith in your own dreams! ... full review

MOVE OVER, TARANTINI! There's a new auteur in town. This show was such a joy to watch! Lani has such a fun time reveling in these iconic characters, and it's really fun to see them re-evaluated in a new context. She really embodies and highlights what makes them so unique, and her joy is palpable. Like a Tarantino film, the opening is top notch. It's lightning-paced and flows seamlessly. There's a great balance of love and criticism throughout. DO NOT MISS!!!... full review

This is full-throttle Sylvie in the best way possible. We get to see every era of Sylvie in its full glory, but my favorite might be 100-year-old Sylvie, it's very new and fresh and silly and I haven't seen her play someone so old and wise. The whole setup is hilarious, her performance is great, and she has great games with the audience.... full review
