The Fall of the Roman Republic... on a shoestring budget.

adriana martínez barrón · June 14, 2026 certified reviewer
A very ambitious topic covered in the funniest, silliest most chaotic way possible. This would've been an excellent SNL skit. At 1:30 it's hard to keep up all those jokes going and going, but this cast found a way to make so much complicated history compelling and entertaining. ... full review

Matt & Lily Get Together

adriana martínez barrón · June 14, 2026 certified reviewer
A hilariously raunchy comedy set. Matt and Lily bare it all and talk about everything taboo: homophobia, threesomes, polyamory, kink and yet they are so personable that when the show is over you just wanna hang out with them. ... full review

Lady M

Great writing, directing and performances make this a thoroughly enjoyable female-centered Shakespeare adaptation with it's own unique personality and flair. If you love a sexy, funny, reimagining of the Scottish Play, centered on Lady Macbeth, this is a show for you!

I Totally Would've Had a Threesome With You

adriana martínez barrón · June 08, 2026 certified reviewer
A teen sex comedy that is anything but dumb. This play exudes the vibrancy of youth. Ellen's hilarious and insightful script is able to navigate the choppy waters of teenage sex lives while opening a much needed conversation about consent and the impact of sexual assault in a young woman's sex life and sex drive and how complicated it can be to navigate the trauma amidst the typical expectations of wild, crazy, youth. Brilliant. Hilarious. A must see at Fringe this year! ... full review

What Survives

adriana martínez barrón · June 08, 2026 certified reviewer
What survives is an exploration of today’s challenging political landscape in America through five short plays about various divisive political issues that dovetail into the complicated patchwork that makes up our country. At first glance that description can sound like too much to watch in these dark times, but honestly, the piece felt very resonant and important and not super preachy or heavy. The play masterfully argues both sides of complex current issues with intelligence and nuance, ... full review
