This was one of the most intense and immersive theater experiences I've had in a while. The scarce lighting, the visceral mine cave-in soundscape from the actors, the closeness and presence you feel as an audience member all contribute to a sort of fever-dream quality to the production, which is fitting because that's exactly the mental state of the characters. You can feel their desperation, panic, despair, and their hope dwindle and soar. There's music, humor, tension, pain and surprises in Butcher Holler Here We Come! and I think this is something you absolutely should not miss out on at Hollywood Fringe.... full review

Really impressed with this production. Went in not knowing, at all, what to expect and I was delighted! This was completely immersive theater. You FELT like you were interactive (and yet not called upon as an audience member) to push the story forward. Action was happening all around you.... full review

Super crafted and smart. By very simple means, the show manages to fully immerse you deep into a coal mine in West Virginia in the 1970s, and does so in a powerfully visceral way. ... full review
ENCI BOX certified reviewer June 29, 2019
This play was disturbing and haunting and I still think about those miners. Well and creatively performed in a bare room with very few props, we relied on our senses (as some action took place in total darkness) and our imagination as if we were the walls inside the mine. This production opened my eyes and my curiosity about what these miners go through. And off to the library I go...... full review
