Pam is hilarious! Her writing sense of humor combined with her explosive energy on stage culminated in a show that made me laugh, cry, and everything in between.... full review

A very powerful story, it hit close on so many points that I wasn't expecting. ... full review

If you are going to see one solo show this fringe this is the one. This is such a timely and immensely powerful show. Vivi is a powerhouse of a storyteller and performer. These are the kinds of stories that need larger platforms. These are the stories that need telling. ... full review

A fun twist on the haunted house concept with good tunes sprinkled throughout... full review

A very compelling script and a surprisingly fun yet still deep dramedy. The two young men in the central roles do a great job and play off each other extremely well. ... full review

Glossolalia is brilliant. It is dark and twisted but also very human, causing you to feel conflicted emotions and walk away still toiling on it. It is beautifully written and the direction and actors really made this piece come to life. It is a must see!... full review

Kelly brings her audience on this dramatic and at times comical journey of her life with bravery, inspiration, and heart! Her presence on stage is electric! Kelly's freedom of expression, creativity and artistry unfolds beautifully with the words she wrote, movement, and the wonderful direction by Wayne Orkline! Thanks again Kelly for bringing your story to the stage!... full review

This show was so funny and still emotional, which is my favorite combo. Jackie went through some tragically hilarious shit and even though I don’t know her personally I’m very proud of her for turning into this. Go see it, it’s so fun and might make you cry a little in a good way too. ... full review

This show is entertaining and delightful! I was fully engrossed from start to finish, it is the perfect length. A satisfying combination of magic, comedy, surprise, and warmth. Magical Katrina is confident, charming, and amusing. This show will lift you up. ... full review

Great writing, great storyline, great characters!... full review

Strange in the best way! Good writing, great performance, unique subject matter, and the protagonist was a fun, colorful character. Little twists and turns throughout (the one at the end tied everything together nicely). ... full review

Keep working on that song to change the world! It’s already in great shape. Couplet does it again! What a warm, raucous, romp. Joyful and honest, would folk again. We love you (you will die)... full review

An absolute blast for lord of the rings devotees and the Tolkien-ignorant alike!... full review

Very grounded performances! The material was handled with care and they were all invested in each other. Some very compelling moments from all 3 of the actors. Bravo! ... full review

Fantastic, imaginative, and engaging story- telling that still captivated me long after leaving the theater. I thought I knew where the story was going, then it kept unraveling in the most eerie and profound way. Loved how immersive the play felt. Everyone in the audience had a blast learning all the revelations of the story together. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun theatrical outing! ... full review

Charming, heartfelt and poignant show from an up-and-coming star... full review

A bare-bones exploration of the lives of Adam & Eve with God in Drag. ... full review

The Do Over is an impressive display of human expression in the extremes. Death seems to have that effect. The show begins with Rachel in pure bliss. A morning with “no puffies”, twerking, and money cash flow in reward of that twerking. (Heaven, right?) But then reality sets in. And over the course of the next 35 minutes, the audience participates and witnesses the re-imagined events of her mother’s final day. Rachel performs everything from singing, spreadsheets and interacting with magical ... full review

From the very beginning, I knew this show was going to be one of a kind, and I was not disappointed. The chemistry between the cast, the set design, and the technical elements all came together to deliver 90 minutes of pure femme catharsis. ... full review

funny and a real blast from the past... full review
