A wildly creative one of a kind nod to the outrageousness of religious teenage culture that rivets and perhaps haunts the lives of many awoken and healed adults. Hilarious, unforgettable, and so well done. Have never seen anything like it, and will be thinking about it for a long time! ... full review

This show was magic to me! Not only did I get to experience an honest to goodness parody of an old-timey Melodrama, but Suzanne Seyfi's smart and hilarious script made sure that if you had NEVER seen a Melodrama before, you would still enjoy the heck out if this show. Every member of the cast was chewing the scenery with vigor. I was absolutely delighted by this family friendly romp. I can't wait to see what this ensemble does next, but I hope Pining at the Prickly Pear Patch has another life pos... full review

I was very impressed by the scope, arc, and overall performance level of this play. The actors were all very talented and in tune with their characters. The physical comedy and blocking was perfection, and the writing was very smart. I loved the structure of the play, and how the writing made smart call backs to earlier jokes or plot points. A smartly put together and truly unique play. ... full review

Forever blown away by this man's musical talent - on top of that, I was most impressed by the amazing crowd work. It is a rare ability to cast oneself in such a dehumanizing light and bring the audience along with them as a COMEDY. The facial expressions were delightfully well thought-out and sophisticated. Excited to see what else is in store. ... full review

What an amazing show. All the actors were hilarious, one of the best shows I’ve seen in recent memory. Jose, Josephine, and Javi are absolutely killers. Hope to see this show back! ... full review

A truly distinctive effort which needs to grow a bit more. Choreopoem is one of the most challenging forms in performance; and combining a radical use of mirrors adds another layer of complexity to a demanding arena. ... full review

I loved this show so damnably much! What a lovely goofball this cat is. Skilled report with the audience too. He 'yes anded' every offer made by the audience. He played on stage with such glee and generosity, there is no way you don't love Doofus. Silly as fuck. I fell in love.... full review

Cirque Lunaire: A Puppet Debacle! What a wild and memorable play- Soup Kitchen's show is such an audacious dark comedy that uses puppetry not as a quirky accessory but as the beating heart of its storytelling. The production leans into chaos with confidence. Puppets misbehave, plotlines twist themselves into knots. Josh, Peter and cast embraced the strange, pushed the boundaries, and let the puppets say the things humans won’t. Soup Kitchen's aesthetic is inventive, and refreshingly unafrai... full review

Brendan is such an incredible storyteller, it’s IMPOSSIBLE to look away. The full range! I’ve seen his stand up before, and The Abyss showcases his expert joke writing abilities with an incredibly deep level of raw personal vulnerability and razor-sharp awareness. A beautifully crafted and performed piece that is jam-packed with intimacy, thought, and heart. He makes every person in the room feel like he is speaking directly to them. He truly is a rare and multi-faceted talent.... full review

Absolutely incredible. Junru’s talent is of course, very impressive but the way she navigated her very deep seated trauma, with raw emotion, and yet grace and even humor.. was really something!!... full review

Raja El Majzoub delivers a haunting masterpiece in The Veil at the Hollywood Fringe Festival. Following his Broadway World Award-nominated run of The Dice Player, El Majzoub channels a raw, hyper-focused ADHD intensity that leaves the audience spellbound.Blending live testimony with the profound literature of Mahmoud Darwish and Hussein Barghouti, this 45-minute show is a visceral descent into heritage, exile, and the liminal space between life and death.Daring, poetic, and deeply moving—this is ... full review
