Cookie & The Monster

Great time at this show. The monster was great. I wish the monsters had interacted more, but other than that, it was a wild ride witnessing the demon inside! Will recommend to friends. ... full review

I was delighted to have caught a performance of Cookie & The Monster. A very worthy play with dedicated actors (As always with Sacred Fools peeps). I'll go see anything and everything that is in the dark comedy genre and this cuts right to the veins with the rest of em'. Very slick directing. There are a lot of scene, time and location changes but the cast keeps the pace up the entire time. Great costumes and some beautiful choreographed moments create lovely picturesque moments that show off that the director has an eye for composition. The play feels so personal and honest and is clever way to address the dark monsters that we feel bubble up and overtake our lives. If you love to laugh at the most brutally uncomfortable moments in life, t... full review

Yet another win in the hff15 roster! I thoroughly enjoyed myself at this performance. I was engaged all throughout the playful and humorous moments as well as commiserating in the troubling moments of Cookie's journey towards an independent adult.... full review

A very gripping piece, from start to finish. Funny and sad at the same time, all of the actors were amazing! A very powerful piece about a subject that is all too real.... full review

The caliber of talent was privilege to witness. Another of my favorite plays I saw this year. If you had the opportunity to see this show we sure shared an awesome experience. They raised the bar for a drama fringe show! Go see. ... full review

Incredible show! Have never enjoyed theater so much or have been so affected by a show. Tasteful, graceful, incredibly engaging and hilarious!! Cookie and the monster makes the things we don't want to talk about palatable and beautiful. Super impressive. ... full review

Thank you, Jaime, for sharing this! Dark and Funny, hard to watch at times but definitely delivering all the feels. ... full review

Most of us had invisible friends when growing up. Some we conjured as furry giant bunnies, others cuddly teddy bears, or, in the case of a certain future actor-theater writer, perhaps even a well-spoken talking version of the Beast from 20,000 Fathoms who followed him around everywhere, knocking down imaginary brick walls onto sour-faced unsuspecting passersby. For our heroine Cookie (a marvelously deadpanning Jaime Andrews), however, her own personal id-incarnate is really a monster, shouting orders at the side of her pigtailed head like a drill sergeant on crack and slyly coercing the poor impressionable child into one disastrous situation after another. While Cookie is still an impressionable suburban child living at home with her pare... full review
