"Strait Jacket Sirens" was filled with fun, attitude and enough talent to light up the Hollywood sign!... full review

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

A zany slice of 18th-century silliness!... full review

Spooky and Atmospheric, with writing that felt like a staged book-reading. Very cool concept.... full review

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 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

A fantastic takedown on motivational speakers that kept me laughing the whole time. Anyone who has gone down a self help rabbit hole can appreciate the specificity and craft of every joke. Bravo! ... full review

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

Extremely creative storytelling from a fantastically funny actress. Super relatable for any performer, but the message can apply to anyone.... full review

Taya is an extremely talented improviser, every character somehow felt SO grounded despite the absurdity of the setup. ... full review

The play is well written in the absurd genre and the execution on stage was delightful to watch.... full review

Completely original and magnetic. I was locked in the whole time. Each show is different so you may want to come see MaMa do her thing multiple times.... full review

A super funny, super personal, super brave piece of storytelling.... full review

Intimate and tender while also uncomfortable in the best way. This play is like a warm hug from a parent you feel ambivalently towards. ... full review

This is a very evocative and provocative piece of theater. David has done a phenomenal job with the research that has gone into documenting the lives and opinions of the various characters that he performs across the shows. Kudos!... full review
