Jimi Darkness is an unexpected rollercoaster of emotion. It's a powerful Rock-n-Roll musical that tells the story of one man's struggle with drugs and alcohol and the demons that haunt him nightly. While the crime fighting superhero in his imagination seemingly serves the community, the reality is a story about a self destructive lost soul searching for significance in his world. The play finds a beautiful balance between entertainment and enlightenment as our anti-hero battles his disease and in... full review

The Last Palestinian was nothing short of outstanding. Randa was phenomenal in her performance and delivery of such raw and intense emotion, speaking for her people and delivering messages and stories that need to be heard. You could feel the whole crowd being moved by her throughout the show. ... full review

Enjoyable, clever show that had my attention from the start! Marissa devises multiple ways to tell the tale of The Great Marzini, who is charismatic, in a real pickle and needs to solve the problem he has created for himeself. Loved the egg bit! The balls! The magic trick at the end! And the shadow puppet moment!... full review

"Schizm" is a thoughtful, nuanced, and tender exploration of mental health challenges that really find themselves explored in such a robust and impactful way. Lisman gives these characters depth, humanity, and a lived-in sense of reality that makes this his best work to date. Watching a playwright find their voice is always exciting, and Lisman has clearly found his. ... full review

Hysterical has everything you could want from a clown show and the added wrinkle of psychological horror. ... full review

Leaving Shakespeare was a cleverly written play that had me captivated, laughing, entertained, and feeling from the heart from start to finish. Bringing Shakespeare’s characters into present day and imagining what could have been and what could be now was brilliant, and the actors were outstanding in bringing the characters to life. I’m already looking forward to the next creative work by Dana Beardsley Crotwell!... full review

I really enjoyed it. It was honest and sincere. It was funny and heartfelt. It was captivating. And all this around the volatile subject of family conflicts and politics!... full review

Marzini/Marisa's character work is divine, the magic is AWESOME, crowdwork is fantastic and the twists and turns in the story are simply delightful. A work of art in all ways!!... full review

This was a masterpiece of a play - heartfelt, bold, beautifully acted, superbly directed, insightfully written. Easily the best show at Hollywood Fringe, one that deserves a run on a much bigger stage - say, at the Taper.... full review

A hoot - from the story, to the performances, to the turkey leg, to the hair peeking out on the King's costume. Everything was pitch-perfect in this frilly, fun, farce and the laughs were non-stop!... full review

Fantastic show, touching, heartfelt and honest. Amazing performances across the board, and does a lot with very little. Stellar work!... full review

A fantastically funny and twisted show, had me crawling on the floor laughing and wanting to go again almost immediately upon ending. Delirious writing, amazing direction and performances. Couldn't have asked for a better first Fringe show!... full review

BEGGING FOR LOVE is an incredibly heartfelt, honest and heartbreaking foray into love and dating as a woman. Christine's use of clown / physical comedy, AND song and music immediately disarms the audience for what will be a WILD ride. Christine is so honest and vulnerable but never self-indulgent. A wonderfully relatable show for anyone who has ever felt unlovable.... full review
