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

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

Dog of Carnage

alon dina · June 13, 2025 certified reviewer
Might be my favorite Benjamin Schwartz show yet, and a great production by the Catharsis Theatre Collective. Truly captures the spirit of the Hollywood Fringe Festival. Such a dynamic, fast-paced show with so many elements that so work well together. You will find yourself trying to figure out which side to take, and it is better than any courtroom drama (comedy) that you would see on TV. ... full review

OOPS

alon dina · June 10, 2025 certified reviewer
Olivia is an engaging and exemplary performer and the show will have you laughing nonstop! Through fun stories and hot gossip, Olivia comes to an understanding of who she is and how she finds her purpose within her network. She does not focus on one memory, but keeps the story exciting as she finds different patterns throughout her lifetime. This show allows us to feel like we have discoveries at the same time as her, through her exciting tone. There is not a moment of dullness, of confusion, bec... full review
