What a fun freaking show!! Such a great concept executed in such a playful way. The staging for this show was phenomenal- this cast of seven flowed through the space with ease while creating impactful physical imagery. The space fit the intimacy of the show perfectly!!...

An incredible production, starts with children playing in the streets but leads to mythological proportions. Mandy Rubeli is such a fantastic writer, the play follows great structure and each character is fantastically layered. Thought provoking themes that include death, grief, and the afterlife. The show leaves you with visceral feelings, a range that begins from laughing with each other line, to a the eerie feelings the play offers....

All Cats Go To Hell is insanely funny, full of heart, and oddly nostalgic. It a huge love letter to all of us who grew up as weird kids, and reminds us we all have a place in this world....

A fun, twisting, dark ensemble piece about the loss of innocence and our own mortality. Great performances and a script that takes you deep into the questions of what happens after you die? And who is looking after us?...

An absolute delight of a show! The little sister of “The Breakfast Club” meets the big brother of “Stand By Me,” this piece captures the essence of the epic misadventures of 8th grade that often collide with harsh realities of growing up. The characters were endearingly believable and charming, (as well as the actors playing them) and made up the real heart of the show. The production exhibited a perfect storm of great writing and great acting. There was a sweet sense of playfulness from the actors that kept me tuned in every minute. A talented emerging writer paired with electric young actors makes “All Cats Go to Hell” something NOT to miss out on. ...

All Cats Go to Hell is a dark, hilarious, and weirdly moving journey through grief, guilt, and growing up. Rubeli has crafted a coming-of-age story that’s equal parts teen comedy and existential horror, and somehow made it feel timeless. Think The Breakfast Club meets Stranger Things with a dash of The Goonies, all under a blood moon. The use of tension and release, the impeccable casting, and the strong visual storytelling make this a must-see Fringe gem. Do yourself a favor and SEE THIS SHOW!...
