I am absolutely heartbroken that the rest of the run of this show is sold out. I'd buy another ticket to it in a heartbeat. I *loved* this experience. Loved, loved, LOVED it. And do not get me wrong, it is an experience, not a show. Do not go if you do not like your art interacting with you. But absolutely go if you want to experience eight different stories in a unique, deep and profound way. ...

If you let it, this piece will get right in there under your skin -- and I encourage you to let it. This is interactive theater at its very best -- it exists on shifting and unpredictable sands, and is a different play not only for each audience member, but for each actor, with each performance. The chance to compare notes with fellow audience members and the cast after the show was also an important and functional part of the performance -- I went home with lots of legitimately big questions tumbling around in my head... Questions of identity, and how we construct it, and how it, too, exists in flux... Questions of character, and how much of what we 'perform' in life is learned from what we see around us. I could easily (and would very much...

“Getting To Know You” is a World Premiere Hollywood Fringe Festival event that takes you off the beaten path to get up-close and personal with strangers. All it takes is saying yes to an empty white chair. Recommended.

This is am incredibly creative and innovative theater experience in which the actors interact directly with audience members one at a time. As an audience member, you don't know how much to interact and whether to act like an audience member or an improviser. One thing is for sure though, these actors shatter the fourth wall and evoke real feelings in you of guilt, attraction, compassion, and even anger. In a world of same-old theater format, this show is really special!...

Such a cool concept. I love how talking with other audience members afterwards is an integral part of the experience. And the performers were incredibly talented. I keep thinking about it the next day!...

I walked out of this show. Thought to myself for about 5 minutes to myself. Then I looked at my schedule and bought another ticket. This is the only show I am going to see more than once at the fringe and once you go see it you'll want to do the same. Very well done. Truly committed actors each with a rich backstory. An incredible, very unique experience. Go and get your ticket because these shows sell out quick. Only 8 seats per performance....
