This jumped straight to the top of my favorites from this year's festival. Not only is everyone on the artistic team clearly firing on all cylinders, but the production is constantly conjuring deep emotions that land with all the weight of a sledgehammer to the sternum .

Heavy, yes, but undoubtedly hilarious, Alli Miller is a wrecking ball of a performer who had me rolling with laughter through all her stories of her mother, many of which have a "horrifying if you think about it for two seconds" quality to them.... full review

An extremely kind, inviting, but still awe-inducing take on mentalism. Buster may not actually be a mind reader, but boy it sure feels like he sees right through me.... full review
