A well-constructed emotional ride that's guaranteed to make you feel ALL the feels.... full review

It started a bit slow, but once the groundwork was set, it became very interesting and engaging. It was a great story about relationships and how the love can persist even through bad decisions and rough patches in life.... full review

By far the best acting I've seen at the fringe. The director kept the dialogue crackling and the story accelerating. Don't miss this!... full review

YEAH! Gritty, full on, blood-sweat-and-tears-in-yo'-face-theatre!! Kickass work from the cast of MoFo W/The Hat. They work it, giving you a solid theatrical experience. This piece has depth, gravitas, grabs you by the cohones and takes you through a heart-wrenching theatrical rollercoaster of emotions. It has solid direction and a uniformly strong cast who play the junkies, abusers, abused and highly dysfunctional group of characters who are doing their best in life. The characters learn a little, grow a little, bounce around in their pain & try to better themselves. MoFo is a carefully constructed production that deserves to get an extended life. Great work!... full review

At the end of the play I cried a little, it really touched me. I highly recommend it. ... full review

Playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis’s richly profane (and profound) 2011 Tony-nominated play is given an excellent run with a sharp ensemble. Pallo brings both the machismo and desperation as Jackie. Sanchez is fierce as Jackie’s addict girlfriend Veronica. Nelson Delrosario as Ralph D — Jackie’s AA sponsor and best friend — depicts a man narrowly focused on his own worldview, and who is eager to help Jackie (though not ne... full review
