What a fun and unexpected wild ride! Katrina commands the stage and dazzles the crowd with illusions all tied together with a spy theme. Loved it. ... full review

Roz is a captivating performer and *knows* how to own a stage. This slice-of-life from her...life...was hysterical, moving and speaks to those who aren't even looking for Black people. Great, great experience!... full review

Disco Therapy is pure joy. It’s healing, kindness, fun, warmth, and understanding all wrapped up in a disco ball. A show that makes you laugh, feel seen, and leave a little lighter than when you arrived.... full review

I truly appreciate the humor brought to light in this highly original, deeply personal account of a traumatic time in the author/actor's life. Soul-searching with humor.... full review

Harmony's Edge touches on a lot of themes dear to a lot of people - love, rejection, loneliness, grief, sexuality, addiction, (in)fidelity, authenticity; and having to do all that in about an hour is an ambitious goal. Fortunately, not only does the play do it well, but also manages to do it in song! A wonderful cast of beautiful voices brings this play to life as well. Overall a great short play worth watching and sharing with friends and family.... full review

An intense experience, Punish Me is a dark thriller that takes you slowly on the journey of being seduced by a narcissist. It's a heavy show and you should be prepared to be mentally and emotionally shocked by some of the scenes on stage.... full review

Club Clown is a bold, beautiful jolt of silliness and joy. And a reminder that sometimes, you just need to dance it out.... full review

Andrew tells his story unfiltered and honestly at a pace that keeps you locked into his every word. I had no idea what was around the next corner! ... full review

A pandemonious smörgåsbord that explores the stages of a one-sided infatuation toward a boy crush.... full review

I was captivated by this piece of work. Of course, I am sold on anything with dancing, absurdism, costume, and making fun of the impersonal pay wall that is group fitness classes. Spectacular work! ... full review

What starts out as an amusing bickering session among a pack of wolves arguing about who was responsible for the killing of the very delicious deer they are eating evolves into a sort of meditation on the need for a repudiation of violence, through empathy and understanding.... full review

A very powerful show! Ryan is a great performer and has written an amazing one man show. I was really riveted throughout the whole thing, in addition to being brought to tears, and laughing out loud. I really related to the family he described. It was a very personal and sometimes raw account, while amazingly still being very entertaining! ... full review

One of the most creative and engaging solo shows I have ever seen! Yamini expertly marries a character showcase with audience participation and it works flawlessly. The character of Barbie is over the top yet vulnerable, and she allows the audience to get to know her in such a short amount of time. Absolutely hilarious!... full review
