Good Boys Anonymous

anonymous · June 06, 2026 certified reviewer
This play and these actors are brilliant! Bill Prudich brings together a series of 7 monologues tied together through the setting of a support group circle where everyone is dealing with the burden of being a “good boy/ girl”. The intimate stories of these people are raw, vulnerable and heart wrenching; shining a light into the origin of their people pleasing habits and their struggle with coming to terms and letting it finally go, with Joshua Alejo, Scott Hislop and Bill Prudich being strong... full review

Out for Delivery

louis esparza · June 06, 2026 certified reviewer
Lissa Rivera’s “Out for Delivery” provides a genius comedic commentary on the human relationship to online shopping. Illustrating how isolated humans can become monsters, “Out for Delivery” makes explicit this dehumanization in a subversive way. Funny, provocative, and sexy, Rivera’s show delights. ... full review

Slack Tide

I loved the show. It's a very well-written piece that engages the audience from the start with very well-constructed characters and the conflicts that they carry. The relationships between them were very clear without the play being overly expository.... full review

In the Beginning

christina tinde jesenski · June 06, 2026 certified reviewer
Imaginative, heartfelt, and original, Kylee Q Robinson’s “In The Beginning” offers a modern and relatable take on the Garden of Eden (and centuries after) that blends humor and existential debate in an enjoyable production that knows just when to take itself seriously and when to let the audience laugh. Featuring a standout performance from Laurel Preston as Eve, the actors are beautifully connected to the script physically and emotionally. You will fall in love with this version of the first peo... full review
