Mark Vigeant: OUT THERE

kathleen leary · June 29, 2026 certified reviewer
This show pushes the boundaries of what I thought were possible with a fringe show! Mark Vigeant has the whole audience rolling with laughter with his observations and brilliant audience interactions. It is so fun to be a part of a show that is acknowledging things happening in the room in real time. I will be thinking about Out There and watching my step for inclines and declines for a long time!... full review

A You Problem

kathleen leary · June 22, 2026 certified reviewer
This production is so well crafted from top to bottom! Maranto gives an impressive performance as Mara Dorjan taking the audience on a hilarious and wild ride in 60 minutes and in such a small space! A You Problem is a great satire of the absurdity and horrors of the health and wellness industry.... full review

Escape Room

I laughed, I cried, I loved it! This show deals with "capital t" trauma in a skillful, nuanced, and grounded way. This subject matter in different hands could be so heavy handed but Emily Boyle has created a very smart vehicle for this story and delivers an amazing performance. ... full review
