Emotional Alpha

This show was hilarious. And as a staunch feminist lesbian who thinks men are generally not funny (sorry men, don't get too emotional about it), you can take my word for it! Thoroughly enjoyable, I lol'ed throughout.... full review

Somos Aire

marie tabag · June 06, 2026 certified reviewer
Wow! What a story. A great portrayal of family life on the edge of society. The Single Mom’s struggle to support her family of 2 teen daughters depicts the issues of environmental issues, cultural beliefs, social stereotypes, and the international relationship with Mexico. The Gallina is a bright light in the story of gloom vs the Powers that Be. ... full review

Goodbye. Hello.

kellie pleshinger · June 06, 2026 certified reviewer
Goodbye Hello is an excellent, heartwarming story of the trajectory of two best friends' lives and afterlives. A genuine piece with a lot of heart and a conclusion that brings a tear to anyone's eye. It's a joy to watch these two performers depict the ups and downs of their relationship, and the play does a lot with what they have, creating an incredible effective narrative and memorable characters. ... full review

About Last Night: Dating disasters, live on stage

dara kosberg · June 06, 2026 certified reviewer
What a night!!! The show hit it out of the park and the audience went wild! One storyteller after another brought humor, vulnerability- and at times nastiness. You won’t be disappointed. And each show has a different line-up so you can go again and again and again. See this show!... full review
