The Bone Lady

alli herman · June 07, 2026 certified reviewer
The Bone Lady was such a cool experience! It felt like being at a museum demonstration and a play all in one! And then SPOILER! I ended up being apart of the show, well we all did! I laughed, learned, and thought about humanity in a different light. And now I know for certain, even if I amount to nothing, some will remember me.... full review

DADDY ISSUES

rebecca marquez thompson · June 07, 2026 certified reviewer
Incredible show. It was funny, serious, hilarious, and real all at the same time. The writing was so good that at one point I felt like I was sitting on my couch watching a Netflix show then I realized I was actually in a theater watching it live!... full review

CLUB CLOWN

mike reyes · June 07, 2026 certified reviewer
​Club Clown is less a traditional show and more of an experience: a surreal, wildly interactive celebration of laughter, music, improvisation, and the simple joy of allowing yourself to be ridiculous with a room full of strangers. ... full review

Inconceivable

olga konstantulakis · June 07, 2026 certified reviewer
I really enjoyed inconceivable. A deeply personal and funny solo show about Alice’s journey trying to conceive. What I loved was her honesty - she really takes you on that ride with her. Her ability to find humor in all of it is extraordinary. ... full review

The Vertical

alli herman · June 07, 2026 certified reviewer
What a fun piece! Filled with cringe, laughter and shining a light on the ever growing entertainment industry! Even though the industry can look bleak and shallow, especially when peaking behind the curtain of the Vertical Drama world--artists always find away for true connection regardless of the circumstances. Werewolves and Mafia Bosses included, the true hope for the "industry" as we know is deep inside of us. ... full review

RADICAL ACTS with Ramón: Tomfoolery, Grief and Whimsy

margo rowder · June 07, 2026 certified reviewer
As a fan of Ramón's 2022 show, I was pleasantly surprised with the evolution Ramón has experienced. I think many of us have home through the same transformation in the last 4 years. This show provided the same heart, the same jolt of joy, and the same sense of community I needed then. Thank you, Ramón! ... full review

Glossolalia

teresa mckenna · June 07, 2026 uncertified reviewer
This thought-provoking debut by writer and director Christina Tinde Jesenski offers a fresh and modern take on owning your truth, expertly challenging the audience to examine a complex situation from the outside looking in. Centered on the concept of Glossolalia, the narrative intentionally places the audience in the shoes of a bystander rather than someone deeply invested in the characters' personal chaos, allowing for a balanced view of both sides. This objective distance enhances the compellin... full review

You're Not My Dad

alli herman · June 07, 2026 certified reviewer
What a wonderful piece of storytelling! I cried, I laughed, I cried while laughing and vice versa! It was cathartic, intimate, and I left feeling like I had been to the best therapy session I've been to in my life. You can't ask much more for live theatre and Ryan delivered!... full review
