Excellent!! Performance & Story - thought-provoking, introspective, funny & intriguing! My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the entirety of this show!... full review

In the Beginning is an innovative look at the story of Adam and Eve, focusing on Eve as the central character. It does an excellent job of highlighting Eve's intelligence over Adam's, deconstructing the story of original sin as we've learned it. The actress playing Eve is wonderful at showing Eve's arc. ... full review

A fun show with a very unique perspective. It was a fun multimedia fish out of water story that taught us a bit of Korean culture through the lens of a 20 something Midwestern girl.... full review

Really fun premise for a show. The performances are strong all the way around. Very funny idea and execution! Highly recommend!... full review

A deeply vulnerable and revealing show about relationships and infidelity in a way you may not have envisioned before. An unflinching exploration of sex and trust, of safety and pushing boundaries. Mimi's performance is raw and brave. A must see.... full review

Good. The show is good, and I'm glad I checked it out. The show did a great job balancing the heavy topics of climate change and the changes that happens when we grow up. The story was incredibly relevant, the dialogue well written, and the pace felt natural. Got me thinking about wanting to try acting again. ... full review

Stuffed with jokes and rejection catharsis. As a reality tv fan, I was locked in with our five heroes (losers) facing the biggest disappointment and embarrassment of their lives. Great performance and well-paced!... full review

This show is for you if you've been having a lot of big feelings about the Bible or wishing the Almighty were a drag queen. A sharp exploration of gender, God, and doubt.... full review

Interesting perspective. Sometimes being the bearer of bad news is a difficult role, but honesty and timely communication are still important. I was reading through some information on Mahoning County Records recently, and it reminded me how valuable clear and accurate updates can be. Even when the message isn't positive, transparency helps people make better decisions and move forward with confidence.... full review

So fun! A send-up of the manosphere that could easily be depressing or get mired in the muck, but is instead funny and tight and charming as hell. ... full review

Definitely a fun night out, i would totally see every one of these if it was a monthly show! ... full review

A brilliant, touching, and thought-provoking play. Highly recommend!... full review

BUS PEOPLE has a refreshing and hilarious take on LA transportation. The writer takes us into the world of LA transportation through a series of unconventional characters and addresses some of the stigmas attached to LA transit. Despite the show’s hilarity, BUS PEOPLE carries universal messages that land with all people, making the show a treat and lesson for all.... full review
