CHRISTOPHER KARBO certified reviewer June 10, 2017
A touching, beautiful to watch piece. Refreshing to see such a small yet vastly ambitious (American Revolution... for the Fringe?) play that, to me, is a real stand out for the Fringe.... full review
ALLISON LEE certified reviewer June 10, 2017
If you’re in search of a well-told story that speaks to the macabre, sexual repression, ghosts a la Nathaniel Hawthorne short stories and period horror films, all wrapped up in the forging of the New World via the colonies, THE BIRTHING PIT is the Hollywood Fringe Festival play that you should attend. ... full review

You see what love can do to you and what you’ll do for it…to keep it close to you. ... full review
