Hollywood Fringe Festival 2026 Reviews

This piece mesmerized me and took me to so many different places in one theater. I empathized with the artist’s personal story as I was reminded of mine, and cried with her while I was sitting in the front row watching. I was blown away by the depth and aliveness of the show. And I loved all the elements mixed into it—the movement, the poetry, the nonlinear timeline, the characters, the rawness of the story! I was so moved! I will be going back to see it again. This kind of authenticity is the ne... full review

First Time is a funny and engaging show delivered with confidence. It’s intimate and conversational, with heartfelt moments throughout, and lots of hilarious anecdotes about sex and discovering yourself. It’s tight, well-paced, and effortlessly holds the audience’s attention, which is especially impressive given it’s the writer-performer’s first ever show!... full review

I’ve been a professional actor in Los Angeles for over twenty years, and after a while you think you’ve seen everything. Great actors. Great writing. Great productions. It gets harder and harder to be genuinely surprised. DWNYC surprised me. I walked in expecting to see a smart adaptation of Harold Pinter’s The Dumb Waiter. I walked out feeling like I had spent an hour trapped in a basement with two men whose lives were slowly unraveling right in front of me. From the moment you walk int... full review

Kendall Brezinski’s one-man show feels like sitting down with someone for an honest, unfiltered conversation about growing up, identity, love, and learning to accept yourself.

If you live in LA & know anybody involved in the film/tv/acting industries - you must see this impeccably honest play!! Like many things in this smoke & mirrors town, you’ll spend the majority of it trying to decipher what is real and what is not. Prepare to fall in love with Greg, understand his pain & then want to send him to a mental institution - a 1 hour rollercoaster impossible to escape thanks to Brooks’ brilliant writing. Sit up close, let Greg look you in the eye, and get the chills you ... full review
