holy holy: the birth of disco
ELISSA LUMA certified reviewer June 15, 2025
This is like getting blasted in the face with unbridled, feminine weirdness, mischief, and joy. Imaginative, ridiculous, at times touching, this show is like being invited to a slumber party with your favorite friends.... full review

ERNEST KEARNEY stage and cinema certified reviewer June 08, 2025
Clownish perfection poses a unique problem for reviewers in that the blend of Da-Da slapstick and rib-tickling existentialism tends to defy easy description, in that they tell stories that go beyond language. I’ve always suspected the reason for this is that in our evolution, “clowning” preceded language. Holy, Holy: The Birth of Disco is such a show that the reviewer must resort to describing blocks The ensemble (Angelika Giatras, Alex Derderian, Emily Markoe, Hollis Hart, Tiffany Ogburn, Molly Kochs, and Franny Harold), presents a prologue of full-blown animus bellowing out random, disconnected catchphrases of masculinity: Money, Al, stock incentives, money, cubicles, spreadsheets), what follows is an aquatic ballet of rebirth an... full review

7 lady clowns hit emotional, spontaneous, physical, funny, beautiful, and wild beats, one after another, in a nearly non-stop, well paced show.

Wholly original, never slow or plodding - gorgeous, generous, and fun with a sincerely emotional core - really really great. ... full review

So funny and the perfect way to begin my Fringe viewing! This highly physical show makes good use of choreographed movement and the individual personalities/vibes of each of the seven (I think seven???) ensemble members. A series of absurd abstract sequences ultimately lead us to the promise of the title, and a heartfelt conclusion about the power of friendship. The combination of all the above elements resulted in a very funny show that was delightful to watch. ... full review
