This show is a must-see at Fringe this year. Getting to see Adriana’s work after last years debut was such a joy. You can see how thoughtfully her work has evolved. Her ability to capture raw, authentic emotions from the characters really immerse you in the show throughout. She always has an eye for casting. Don’t miss this!! ... full review

This was a fun concept and I enjoy watching an ensemble of fun characters, but the overall show was underwhelming. The humor was very rudimentary and the dialogue at times felt stilted and unrealistic. ... full review

A story that reminds us how hard it can be to let go of the people we once knew and loved, even if the people with us now can see how toxic those relationships really are.... full review

An insightful look at the roller coaster of emotions involved in planning a wedding. The stakes are additionally heightened when the bride to be attempts to mend fences with a handful of her “close friends” who have become estranged over the years. Her fiancé, Jason, can’t help but recognize the toxicity of these fair weather friends and hopes to save her from future abuse. Ximena holds on to fond memories of the four pillars she once had in her life, but learns that some wounds just won’t close, in certain cases. ... full review

Stellar cast of actors who are thoughtfully humanizing every character in this show. I felt like I know these people. Wedding Party is truly sweet and truly full of love, platonic and romantic. ... full review

The cast was so amazing, really bringing this rich, emotional story to life. They really captured the high stress mindset of planning a wedding when everything starts to go wrong. ... full review
