Yellow Wallpaper

soo chyun · June 10, 2018 certified reviewer
The Yellow Wallpaper was a short story I read once and it was rather memorable for it's strong language and look into mental illness and a housewive's limitations at the time. So before going to see it, I was quite curious to see how the director properly conveys the original premise. Through the impressive performances from the cast especially the main lead, Tatum Langton The Yellow Wallpaper works well as an adaptation as well as remaining relevant with its themes. ... full review

With My Eyes Shut

soo chyun · June 09, 2018 certified reviewer
What a charming show! As odd as the show's premise sound, an element that solidifies the dynamic of the show comes of a stagehand who interacts with the audience during the play. Mixing these three characters together, the writer was able to add levity to the young couple's struggle with Asperger's. Along with Esther Mira's beautifully rendered dance and Craig Shields's music performed in xylophone and hand drum, the play elevates itself into a truly meaningful and unique product.... full review

Movin' On Up

Smart, witty, and engaging. The play has a unique rhythm to it thanks to the three talented actors who could constantly ping-pong their words to each other in a seamless fashion. It reminds me of Anthony Shaffer's style with a modern twist. Really enjoyed it. ... full review

Trafficked 2.0

Kudos to the full cast! Trafficked 2.0's handling on the disturbing subject of human trafficking was done well while still being difficult to watch as we usually wish to avoid the matter. I find that people are often too comfortable in the safety of our homes and forget about the dangers the world possesses. Peerada and her cast and crew didn't pull the punches. They put out this show in beautiful artform so the people can hear the story of these poor women and girls. ... full review

Earhart: More Than A F-ing Mystery (A Musical Flight)

Fantastic show! The whole cast is very talented to the point of broadway vocal quality, really! The way the writer structured this story was quite clever. If this subject was in the wrong hand, it could be pretty bland and boring.... full review

So, this is what Fringe is all about! Fringe venues truly come in all shapes and sizes. At first, I thought I was at the wrong address because I couldn’t find the theater. If I didn’t see people waiting in front, I’ve probably gone home thinking that the address was wrong. The place was a common residential home, but when I walked into space, my eyes started to be filled with curiosity and excitement. Once the show started, I was immediately mesmerized by the movement and the poetic dialogue from... full review

"We Are Traffic: An UBER Adventure 2022"

What an amazing solo performance! Jonathan Tipton Meyers is a gifted storyteller who at first brings you to a seemingly normal conversation to spellbinding intimacy once he explores his personal story. The first half was very light and funny as he leads you to his starting days as a Lyft driver and his experience with familiar LA culture. The next half gets more intense and you are progressively drawn into his despair. My engagement with the final act was so deep that I couldn't snap out of it fo... full review
