A Peacock In The Rubble

alon dina · June 24, 2025 certified reviewer
A beautiful portrait on the struggles of living with OCD. I respect the natural flow of storytelling and keeping us engaged by not appearing too overly rehearsed, giving us a present experience. Perhaps I ought not to write too much about this show so that you can experience it for yourself. I highly recommend this show and can't wait to see what Marissa Rutka brings next to the stage. ... full review

ABSOLUTE LEGENDS!

alon dina · June 22, 2025 certified reviewer
Absolute Hilarity! Nonstop laughs! Dynamic duo. Will Thomas McFadden and Alan Linic create a smash hit for the Fringe Festival, not to be missed! Marco and Rubio take us through two legends from their big book and recreate fantasies for us to see. Loved the costume changes and cannot stop laughing as I think of one of the characters Alan played. I highly recommend this show for healing belly laughs.... full review

NAPOLEON'S WH*RE SISTER

alon dina · June 22, 2025 certified reviewer
Wildyly entertaining and fiercely intelligent! Very funny show, with a strong ensemble; Shannon Corbeil's script is smart writing; powerful messages coated with humor. The show pokes fun at the history of misogyny. Style similar to The West Wing, I think - taking a subject of serious manner and flipping it (or highlighting a certain aspect) and making it funny with comedic characters. Both deadpan and slapstick humor, each character gets us laughing.... full review

And Her Children

alon dina · June 22, 2025 certified reviewer
I will never miss a Hailey McAfee performance, and what an interesting concept. We watch this character, who is reminiscent of Caroline Leavitt, tell stories and live through them with us. In it, we get a taste of the dark shadows of living a life of leadership, trying to hide the truth until it consumes the self. The show got darker and darker, and we as audience members become bewildered at what angle to perceive this in. The show is ultimately engaging and thought provoking, and McAfee's perfo... full review

Reservoir Dolls: The Whole Bloody Affair

alon dina · June 21, 2025 certified reviewer
Lani Harms shines in Reservoir Dolls, a one-woman show that joins forces of different Quentin Tarantino leads stuck in his head, in a thirty minute punch! Blends parody with homage. The different characters make us laugh out of our seats and keep us entertained to a surprising and hilarious grand finale. ... full review

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring: Extended Edition: Part 3

alon dina · June 19, 2025 certified reviewer
f you ever wondered what it would be like if your nerdiest, most theatrically-inclined friend told you The Lord of the Rings story around a campfire -- only he really got into it, forgot to stop, and had props ready to go -- then Riley Smith has answered our prayers. Smith puts together a fun, experimental project where he is on stage fully committed through a retelling of the classic story/film and playing different characters. ... full review

Scheele's Green: A Comedic Exhibition

Really fun sketches, one's grounded in reality. Both actors play a variety of characters and the script is so funny. A fun show with a dynamic duo!... full review

One Up: The Musical

An underdog story of a young intern trying to make her creative dreams come true; I'm sure many can relate. Super fun musical with great songs and a strong storyline. ... full review

The American Dream

alon dina · June 16, 2025 certified reviewer
I met the writer at Office Hours and was excited to see political theater making a comeback. A series of vignettes to portray the current state of the political times we are in. This has good moments, good acting, and the touching message at the end.... full review

Falling: a disabled love story

alon dina · June 16, 2025 certified reviewer
Possibly one of my personal favorites! Aaron Pang takes the concept of inspiration-porn, as commonly referenced in stories of people with disabilities, and smashes it out the window to create a whole new approach. A truly genuine, authentic experience that had me tearful as I walked out by the way he playfully punches us in the gut. Aaron is such a charismatic storyteller, taking us on the wild ride of his life, and have you thinking about it after for days. ... full review
