This was a really fun show to watch. It was energetic and lively. The acting was great and each actress brought something special and unique to their respective role. The live musical performance was really cool (I wish there had been more!).

In a truly original one-act play, Riot Grrrl Saves the World is packed full of solid performances, with especially good work from Poonam Basu and Zoë Lillian as kindred spirits who become closer as the play progresses. They both display a natural charisma and ability for the roles. TIffany Mo and Emma Servant provide rich performances too and it's obvious the cast has true chemistry. The show is also loaded with wonderful asides to the audience in the form of short monologues, all helped along by well-paced directing - and as a bonus, you get to see a LIVE girl band crank out some raw, steamy punk onstage.

Thank you, thank you Will Play for Food for putting this very important story on the stage. Louisa Hill's beautiful script is such a refreshing and necessary voice. I really enjoyed the language of religion/faith mixing with the grrrl talk, into a kind of magical poetry.
I loved the diversity of this awesome all-female cast, and I loved the authentic body-positivity of this production. This is what the Fringe and the theatre world in general (but most especially in LA) needs more of!
I loved looking over and seeing a whole row of young men next me who were SO into this story -- YES! Thanks for helping prove that grrrl stories are important for everyone to hear!
I would have loved to see the actors playing the romantic interests have...

I had such a blast watching Riot Grrrl Saves The World. The story is engaging and the energy of the talented cast is electrifying! I loved how spirited and passionate each actress was from start to finish. My favorite parts were the monologues spoken directly to the audience. The actresses delivered their impassioned words with such conviction and truth that I was right there in the moment with them--I was a part of their riot grrrl world, and it was so cool. You don't want to miss this super fun show!...
