Eliza EGOTs

alon dina · June 29, 2026 certified reviewer
A brilliant piece to find out if Eliza becomes (?) begets (?) the EGOT In this hilarious one-person show we follow Eliza's career as a former child 'star,' testing out her many talents. We laugh as she carefully laughs at herself, while getting through sensitive subjects.With sharp wit and infectious charm, she isn't afraid to poke fun at herself, transforming personal experiences and more sensitive subjects into moments of genuine humor and connection. Eliza's charisma keeps the audience engaged... full review

A comedy/clown show that blew me away! Nun Slut follows a nun with hidden lustful desires. A show that will make you laugh till it hurts! Robin's absurd playfulness with her different characters reminds me what I love about theater.... full review

Second Rodeo

Second Rodeo is one of the hidden gems of this year's Hollywood Fringe Festival. With exceptional writing, confident direction, and deeply committed performances, this production lands with remarkable emotional force. Poetic, haunting, and emotionally rich. It's the kind of theater that doesn't just entertain; it invites reflection and leaves you feeling changed. A beautiful reminder of art's ability to make us both think and feel.... full review

Murder Podcast: The Musical

alon dina · June 26, 2026 certified reviewer
Murder Podcast: The Musical at The Matrix Theater is a fast-paced, delightfully offbeat comedy that delivers plenty of laughs, catchy original songs, and spirited performances. Led by a talented two-person cast, the show follows the hosts of yet another Florida-based murder podcast, exploring the evolving relationship between an ambitious host and her loyal sound engineer as tensions rise and the mystery deepens.... full review

White Lilies

alon dina · June 23, 2026 certified reviewer
I first heard about White Lilies from the director of another Fringe show, who gave it a glowing endorsement during his curtain speech. After seeing it for myself, I can confidently say the praise was well deserved. The play follows a writer, who receives an unexpected visit from his brother. What begins as a simple reunion quickly unfolds into something far more complex, exploring themes of family, parenthood, and more. As the conversations deepen, layers are peeled back and the audience is draw... full review

30 April 1975: How We Left

alon dina · June 23, 2026 certified reviewer
A concise, 30-minute play detailing the resilience of leaving a war-torn Vietnam, Vivi Thai does a great job in presenting her deeply personal story, allowing use to feel through by images and documents, personal accounts. Vivid stories and images that remind us of the horrors of war. Important, intimate, and lessons that will stay with us long after the show ends. I know Vivi will continually work on this and I can't wait to see how it will develop.... full review

Riley Smith and Cole Cuomo bring the band, made up of Husky and Whispers back to the Hollywood Fringe, and keep us entertained for a fascinating late night show! The show is full of musical acts with comedic breaks, in the unique tons of these original characters. An unforgettable storytelling and musical experience that is full of songs that you will be humming along to on your way home! Could almost feel the ground shake through their voices.... full review

On the Line

alon dina · June 23, 2026 certified reviewer
Writer/directors Pam Eberhardt and Dan Testa return to the Fringe Festival with a tense, psychological thriller about crisis counselors working the overnight shift. I first heard about this show as I saw audience members walking out of the theater, after the show had ended, remarking, "That show was so good... intense!" And I cannot help but agree! The show is more about the relationships within the center, the unfolding of character, than the crises they work on. With chilling performances and a... full review

Being The Perfect Woman

alon dina · June 23, 2026 certified reviewer
Seen this at 30 Minutes or Less Fest and I think it's too important to miss! Diaz shows us what society wants from the "Perfect Woman" and how harmful that can be to everyone. Sharp, concise, and full of heart; awakens us to our own humanity in a 30 minute show. Diaz does a good job connecting with the audience, rather than lecturing us, finding ways to include each of us in sme way.... full review
