Feeling Feeling

Great dialogue and memorable characters. It's funny but also dark, which I like. Happy endings are over-rated. It all felt very human.... full review

What a fun production. I saw the preview production of Feeling Feeling on June 11 - it was my first time to experience the Fringe Festival and it was my first pick of something to see and I'm glad I did. I thought the actors were fabulous and fun, especially Jonny Loquasto (playing Dave) and Kendall Carroll (playing Darla), but the whole cast was young, hip, fun to watch, and just clicked in their parts and together as a group. I'm always fascinated with stories about human / romantic relationships (even at my age), which is why I picked Feeling Feeling, and this one took it a step further by adding the ability to "chip" away the emotions that sometimes work and sometimes get in our way. I thought that was a little futuristic, bu... full review

Thought-provoking, conversation-starting, and engaging, this production will make you wonder "What if..." Bring your significant other along to remember why you're together, or come alone to remember why you split. You'll love it either way.... full review

This is my second year at the Fringe Festival, and the second Sarah Doyle penned play I've seen, and I have to say that it was nothing short of fantastic. The writing is rich and deeply relevant: there wasn't a single scene that I could not relate to. The actors were all perfectly cast and their performances far exceeded my expectations. It was an amazing experience, and I will absolutely be seeing this play again, and bringing all of my friends this time. If you are a fan of the theater, you will absolutely love this play. I guarantee it.... full review

At the bar in the big white tent at Fringe Central, there is a Feeling Feeling cocktail with vodka (lots of vodka), strawberry puree, sprite, and a very important lemon wedge, so I was very happy when I sat down to watch Feeling Feeling. As we come into the theatre, we cross the stage where a blonde lady is couch dancing to Beyonce and Cher power ballads. We are definitely in a modern happy space. The play itself is a dark romantic comedy that traces a couple (Darla and Dave) from Oregon to Los Angeles over four Olympic games. Darla feels too much, so she gets a chip implanted in the back of her neck to make her less dependent on her emotions. Dave goes into therapy to feel more or perhaps feel better. They break up, they get back tog... full review

Feeling Feeling. This review first appeared on ArtsBeatLA.com Review by Pauline Adamek. "Feeling Feeling" is a slightly futuristic story about two couples, written and directed by Sarah Doyle. First seen bopping away enthusiastically to dance music, vivacious Darla (Kendall Carroll) is generally cheerful until the slightest misfortune reduces her to floods of tears. Her slightly Neanderthal boyfriend Dave (Jonny Loquasto) doesn’t really get what sets her off, and doesn’t seem to care. His various sports injuries also inhibit their sex life, which bothers him less than it does Darla. Although they seem into each other, Darla insists Dave go to therapy to learn how to feel and, in turn, gets a chip implanted in the back of her... full review
