Overwhelming positive experience.You could really tell the cast and crew had a lot of fun coming together and working on this project, and it was reflected throughout the entire play. The writing stage direction props and actors performances were all done incredibly well. Which turned a 90 minute watch time into feeling like a 30 minute episode and it keeps you wanting more even after a satisfying ending.... full review

I love Bellingham Bay! It's such a unique, heartwarming, comforting show. You walk through a '90s TV series that never existed and become so immersed in the story and characters that the audience laughs, gasps, and cheers throughout. I can't recommend this show highly enough! You've never seen anything like it.... full review

I was absolutely amazed by the entire “Sage Center” production. The acting was phenomenal and I was captivated and emotionally glued to the story in all the best ways. I had a feeling I would enjoy the show, but I didn’t realize I’d leave so impacted. ... full review

It was a blast! The stories keep you wanting more and more details! A great show! Glad I came! ... full review

As an audience member, I laughed, I gasped, and I participated. I found myself a part of the show in a way that felt fun and playful instead of panicked (my usual feeling with audience interaction). But as a fellow performer... I was simply blown away. OUT THERE is heartfelt and inventive, and, most of all, it's funny as hell. If all that wasn't enough, the technical achievement this show represents is nothing short of a miracle. GO AND SEE THIS SHOW. GO GO GO. GO TWICE.... full review

Absolutely hilarious show packed with very smart and sharp humor that rewards an attentive audience. The comedy is quick witted, current, and full of funny details.

The jokes come rapid fire and the writing is well layered.... full review

This show was a blast. The songs and characters are so much fun. The amount of heart on display, and the ultimate realizations of the individual men on the podcast were also insight. A fun time that won't be forgotten soon.... full review

As a straight white passing cisgender male, finally a show to take the theater back for us by us! A reminder of how valuable it is to produce theater that is written by dead white men or billionaires, I left feeling seen. The “Male Loneliness” number spoke to my soul. So true. ... full review
