Hollywood Fringe Festival 2026 Reviews

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

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

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

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

Sage Center is a moving and engaging piece that follows a young man, Corey, as he navigates his own mental hardships while beginning to work in a in a critical mental health facility. Throughout the play, we as an audience see the world through Corey’s eyes. Mental heath is explored in conjunction with human identity. How do we accept the things we cannot change, and work with them as we try and create a safe and healthy life for ourselves? ... full review

A cute and energetic adaptation of a beloved, and sometimes forgotten, 2007 animated adventure. This would crush in high school productions.... full review

Epic! What a funny little comedy, very good acting and story!... full review

The Big Maestro & Little Cello Boy deserve your attention as they achieve greatness. The commitment will have you leaning forward, loving every bit of the hilarious, trippy performance they give you. ... full review

Intensity, conflict, truth and half truths build and build from the first minutes to the climactic end. The journey challenges (requires!) the audience to confront their own values and go through the same soulsearching as the characters! ... full review
