This was a very powerful, compelling drama that was superbly directed, acted, and written! This ensemble moved like a well-oiled machine. As an audience member who came in not knowing much, I felt truly inspired to share this journey that playwright, Jeff Dinnell took me on! It was riveting to see the cast explore how the bonds of friendship are tested when one of your own is gone. ... full review

This was transformative story-telling and one of the most amazing solo shows I have ever seen! Honestly, I was blown away by the level of writing, direction, design elements and the enormous acting chops that were on full display (courtesy of Juan Francisco Villa)! WOW!!! What. A. Show. ... full review

Deeply personal, yet universally relatable are terms that probably just scratch the service of Meg Lin's triumphant solo show! In addition to massive amounts of heart and humor overflowing in the piece, there are also themes of family dynamics, never feeling as though you belong, and the havoc mental health can inflict that are explored. While I am not Chinese, I can certainly appreciate the messaging that maybe all of us are like "chopped suey" when it comes down to what and more importantly, ... full review

Bring on the DILDOS and JIZZ and while you're at it, you might as well sit yourself down for some of the most heartfelt and hysterical performing you are in for at this year's Fringe festival! What Michael shares is quite the journey for a hot, twenty-something gay man looking to experience life post-break-up! It proves to be rough, smooth, fun and even painful, but then again, sex can be all of these things as well. He isn't shy to share and you shouldn't be shy to go watch this physical cra... full review

A thoroughly entertaining and captivating show complete with seances, history, and a call to the audience to rise up and continue the hard work started by one of our unknown Founding Mothers, Victoria Woodhull. This show is such a fascinating tale of someone who very few of us know anything about, but all of us SHOULD absolutely RESPECT! And the portrayals of not only Victoria, but also, her sister, Tennessee, were spellbinding and powerful! Kudos!... full review

What a genuinely delightful musical filled with some sweetness and some tartness - just what you'd expect from your favorite GINGER! The humor and tender moments were equally balanced in the right measure - just what you'd expect from your favorite GINGER! ... full review

This musical was such a clever and unique hybrid of story-telling, animation, and modern music! Add in one TREMENDOUS leading lady, a few note-worthy ensemble performances, some fun interpretative dancing, appropriate, period-esque costuming, gorgeous lighting and inventive mask-work and you have a truly inventive Fringe show!! Bravo!!... full review

I ADORE dark comedies that capitalize on over-the-top characters being pushed to the edge. This show DELIVERED and then some! I must applaud the writing which had me in stitches from the first few moments and kept me laughing out loud throughout the entirety of the piece!! The dialogue was sharp and not shy of "going there" - so if you get squeamish, GO ANYWAY and tell me you weren't roaring at times!... full review

I appreciated all of the genuine humor and smack-down sibling rivalry within this show. Make no mistake, there was some serious trauma these characters were dealing with, but the story was told in a way that allowed the audience to embrace the dysfunction these two sisters have been dealing with for years. I absolutely appreciated the over-the-top comedic elements and found myself laughing out-loud many times!... full review
