Chrissy Meth~A Dance with the Devil and the Journey Back

john patrick daly · June 27, 2019 certified reviewer
A powerful performance from Crystal Bush, with great writing and acting, as well as distinct characters. Through this show, she is able to turn her tormented past into something truly wonderful, and breathe art into atrocities. ... full review

Saving Cain

A stirring and emotional piece about how far someone will go to take care of the ones who they love, and when faith isn't enough to get someone through. Excellently acted and written. ... full review

Red, White, Black & Blue

john patrick daly · June 27, 2019 certified reviewer
Powerful, emotional, overwhelming, glorious, depressing, and eye opening. This show glued me to it from lights up to lights down, so much that I gave a standing ovation halfway through (there are two one acts, but I thought it was done after the first). ... full review

Siren Call

john patrick daly · June 27, 2019 certified reviewer
A smart and tense play that questions the very nature of celebrities and the fame that follows them. When faced with your heroes, how far are you willing to go to be like them?... full review

The Mayor's Debate of Tranquility, Nebraska

john patrick daly · June 27, 2019 certified reviewer
Dark, funny, and only a slightly embellished version of our current political climate, Mayor's Debate takes the voices we are too familiar with today and brings them to their insane logical conclusions, giving us a release of catharsis while asking the question "why can't we all just be nice to each other?"... full review

Crack Whore, Bulimic, Girl-Next-Door

Powerful writing and great actors combined with familiar story structure and clever staging makes this a engaging, emotional, and (for me) educational show about health, social expectations, and how to deal with growing up in a world that doesn't like you for you. ... full review

MIL GRUS

john patrick daly · June 25, 2019 certified reviewer
I have never been more present with an audience experiencing a thing than I was in this show. Disturbing, shocking, hilarious, provocative, and so, so, so weird, I loved every moment of this show and never want to watch it again. Which is good, because each show is bound to be insanely different. ... full review

Scarlett Fever

john patrick daly · June 25, 2019 certified reviewer
Fun, riveting, pulsing, Scarlett Fever brings you into a world of rhythm and ego as artists and producers alike try to find the secret to "it". Very well written, with good acting and some great choreography, you will be glued to the action from first drum beat to last. ... full review
