Hollywood Fringe Festival 2026 Reviews

Exceptionally well written, acted, and produced. Each scene was a fantastic mix of hard hitting emotional moments and smartly deployed bits of comedy. I loved every part of it and I will be back for each show, so you should too!!!... full review

Tight and genuinely funny in parts. Struggled with the “look at me” energy by the performer and their comfort with their nepotistic perspective. ... full review

Me and my co-writer for The Mysteries of Persephone came to check out Cirque Lunaire and were blown away! I love a show where you can have a psychedelic experience while being totally sober. That was this show.... full review

The show was entertaining, funny, and the songs worked so nicely with the story. I didn’t record any videos! I was too entertained and who doesn't like a show with Man Skin. Get it, Oliver! ... full review

I was blown away by how well written, well acted, well set and just overall how well executed this play was! I’m admittedly not a frequent theater goer but this play locked me in immediately! All the characters are so thoroughly written and powerful in their own right, and each and every performance showed that and more!

What a wonderful and inspiring evening this sounds like! The title alone creates a sense of elegance and celebration, and I’m sure Marle delivered a memorable experience for everyone attending. I was recently reading about local property trends through https://guilfordcountypropertyappraiser.org and it reminded me how important community events are in bringing people together. Wishing continued success for future performances and special gatherings like this one.... full review

Good Boys Anonymous is an amazing theater experience. The excellent writing, casting, direction, and acting of this short play introduced me to feelings I wasn't aware I had. Who knew that sadness, joy, anger, elation, humor and grief could all co-exist in less than an hour? Each character took us on an extraordinary journey and left us feeling a little more connected, by the end of the play. Whether you are a good boy, or not, this play is worth seeing.... full review

Cute, silly, and honestly heartwarming, Banana Man Live packs a punch in such a short time -- and creates a unique way of telling a timely story -- and I had such an amazing time not only experiencing this show but even learning to boot! What a fun time!... full review
