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!...

Mandy Rubeli has written an incredible coming-of-age story that surprised me every minute. This is Stand By Me with a modern flair. Incredibly funny to start, then it settles in to a dark, dramatic and serious look at life when you're young with all its various challenges. The play doesn't pull punches and the actors vividly bring her words brilliantly to life. This is a Top 3 Fringe 2025 show for me!...
