I loved so much about this piece. The subject matter is one that needs to be addressed and attention paid to it. The cast was extemely strong and attacked the material. We did however, lose so much of the great writing and beautiful intamcy with the intrusive voices. Trusting the skill of the lead actors we can hear Greg's voices without having to see them. It was so distracting having so many voices on stage. Is this live character or a voice? Trust the writing and trust the audience. If it was... full review

Meet the Robinsons was fantastic! The whole cast was great. Characters were endearing, making me laugh & cry! So good, & family friendly! ... full review

This show was so incredibly special! Kel welcomed us in to their life story with honesty, vulnerability, and their wonderful humor. To witness the path to their self acceptance and love was so moving and funny. The show's message is one that I feel everyone can relate to. Love the good and hard times as they make you what you are today. I left happy, joyful and have tickets to see it three more times!... full review

I had a good time watching this one hour show. ... full review

Excellent and engaging! This show held my interest and attention the entire time. It was like reading a good book with a main character you become attached to because they draw you in with their warmth, authenticity, humor and unique story. The presentation style and content is very special, like nothing I’ve ever seen before. Penina’s use of honesty and humor throughout made her so lovable. I wanted to hear everything she wanted to share. ... full review

It’s very true to the genre ... full review

OMG. This was such a great show! The story line is beautiful, the cast members are strong. There were no bad actors on stage. They were all so good in their roles and convey the exact conflicts that the writer wants to convey. At the surface this appears to be just a love story between two teenagers. However, its contents revealed racial injustice, economic inequality, lack of freedom out of fear for certain ethnic group, and generational pains.... full review

URGENT CARE is a fascinating and incredibly engaging piece that highlights the trans experience in a very dimensional way. It's grounded and heartfelt, well-acted with dialogue that flows really easily.... full review

I loved it! So relatable, so fun. A lot of humor and whimsy in navigating what is the journey of quitting (most) jobs. ... full review

Fantastic performance! Love Sam’s energy and high tempo comedy. Her original songs and jokes are refreshing and hilarious - “big stage performance” by a one women act. You will see her on the big screen soon! ... full review

Andel is a star!!! She does it all. ... full review

PAPER FLOWERS is a must-see! A genuinely fantastic story of love, family, and injustice, rooted in a woman's story of finding her voice. The show crosses generations and speaks to the state of the world today seamlessly, with wonderful characters that easily make you root for them in seconds. The acting here is fantastically on point, and the messaging couldn't be told better or more seamlessly with the characters' stories. ... full review

DO NOT MISS THIS SHOW! This charming & hilarious piece of theatre is an absolute standout. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll ponder your mortality, you’ll wonder if that dude’s head is okay… ... full review

Fantastic. Saw on the 6th. The cast looked like they were having SO MUCH FUN. The energy was electric.... full review

Dara was very brave to share how she made peace with herself and the unresolved conflicts between her and her mother. Many of us share the very same dilemma and it is very cathartic to know others are going through the same experience.... full review

This show is clown at it's finest.... full review

Hilarious meditation on the challenges of dating in your 40's. ... full review
