Bathroom Diaries

Bathroom Diaries is bold, funny, and full of heart. Christina doesn’t just tell her story, she shows it, with skill, style, and a lot of heart. Her struggle to be taken seriously, both medically and emotionally, is painfully relatable—and her comedic voice brings such levity and strength to a topic most people would shy away from. This is the kind of solo show that sticks with you. Christina Marie Leonard is a force, and this is a story well worth hearing. Do yourself a favor and don't miss this ...

Kami Girl: Let's Go, Tonight!

Kami Girl: Let's Go, Tonight! is joyful, absurd, and refreshingly unhinged. It’s a playful character study wrapped in a fever dream wrapped in a crumpled café menu. The world Kami builds is rich, silly, and weirdly relatable. Watching her try (and fail) to navigate adult responsibilities with the emotional intelligence of a 9-year-old is truly a gift. If you love comedy that doesn’t take itself too seriously but still hits with heart and imagination, Kami Girl: Let's Go, Tonight! is not to be mis...

This As You Like It is funny, heartfelt, and refreshingly clear. Colleen Hammond Whitmore’s direction honors the original text while making it feel totally alive. It’s a great reminder that Shakespeare can be fun, breezy, and full of joy. Even if you usually brace yourself before a Shakespeare show, this one invites you in and keeps you right there with it the whole time. It was a total delight and I'd prefer to see all Shakespeare in this format. Do yourself a favor and SEE THIS SHOW!...

A Real Man is a funny, touching, and refreshingly honest coming-of-age story about masculinity, identity, and learning to take up space as your truest self. Frank Traynor takes the audience on a journey through childhood, brotherhood, and the long road to self-acceptance—with a whole lot of laughter along the way. The show is clever, warm, and disarmingly relatable. Whether you’re the youngest sibling, the odd one out, or someone still figuring out what “being a man” even means, you’ll see yourse...

All Cats Go to Hell is a dark, hilarious, and weirdly moving journey through grief, guilt, and growing up. Rubeli has crafted a coming-of-age story that’s equal parts teen comedy and existential horror, and somehow made it feel timeless. Think The Breakfast Club meets Stranger Things with a dash of The Goonies, all under a blood moon. The use of tension and release, the impeccable casting, and the strong visual storytelling make this a must-see Fringe gem. Do yourself a favor and SEE THIS SHOW!...

Natural Born Citizen is a heartfelt, funny, and deeply resonant solo show that should absolutely not be missed. It’s a coming-of-age story layered with cultural nuance, political awakening, and a hilariously misguided student government campaign. With warmth and wit, Yousaf brings the immigrant experience into sharp focus without ever losing the teenage angst and awkwardness that makes it universally relatable. This powerful story brings the audience together and keeps you rooting for Yousaf's su...

This is a beautiful and hilarious love story that should not be missed! Mia and Nicholas take the audience on a journey of self discovery through a messy and intense Cancer season. The puppetry is brilliant and the music is heartwarming and humanizing. Their onstage chemistry was palpable and the struggles Mia faces overcoming their dependence on their fav lil scapegoat are so relatable on so many levels. When it comes to the abilities of a tapeworm, you will see things you didn't know were possi...

Soft Animal is a beautiful and hilarious examination of Life: the good, bad and ugly elements that have always made the world go round. George takes the audience on a journey through time with fun, clown-infused play. He provides a poetic lens through which to examine ourselves in our attempt to make sense of this fleeting, yet beautiful ride. If you’re looking to get the most out of life, SEE THIS SHOW!...

From minute one, Neo has the audience in the palm of his hand and he continues to dazzle and delight for the entirety of the show. His impeccable ability to read and transform the energy in a room, begins by putting the audience at a baseline of ease. From there, he takes you on a journey of wonder, showcasing his mentalism skills and professional showmanship. I left feeling extremely entertained and amazed by his talents. I felt truly perplexed as to how he pulled off each stunt with such flawle...
