Extremely necessary & timely story regarding the bully breeds who are failed by the government, public, & shelter system. My heart hurts for the fur babies who only want love & understanding in their forever homes but instead get their “last walk” to end in “pink juice.” Lowkey I would’ve happily watched a chihuahua eat the ICE agent & staff member’s face. ... full review

Such a captivating true story that is truly shocking and also full circle. Its hilariously written, while also maintaining a sense of thrill and poetry. Yasi is a magnetic performer who kept me so engaged the whole time. ... full review

It was so great! Informative, funny, engaging and well written. The multimedia was a great touch and Amy's characterizations were amazing!... full review

Dara is a captivating presence in front of an audience and delivers her story with warmth, affection, and personal connection with the audience. She makes us feel like a good friend in whom she is confiding, inviting us to 'give her a hug' at the end - which I could not resist doing!... full review

This was a super sweet balance of immersing into Greek Mythology history, explorative silliness, and some opportunity for introspection. ... full review

This show is pure, infectious joy wrapped in ancient myth. What makes it special is how fully it commits to bringing you in! There’s something genuinely freeing about a show that asks you to play, believe, and participate alongside a room full of strangers.... full review

It was a beautiful and heartfelt story that pulled me immediately in. Just enough war context to lay the field, but what really got my heart was the time and transition between each story part, the emotions and care Vivi took to really help us understand the emotional journey of her family was incredibly touching. I was in tears!... full review

Baby Eyeballs is a very personal story told through the spirit (and eyes) of a very gifted performer. ... full review

A funny and fascinating look inside the mind of a professional Christmas Caroler! It's not just about showing up in a Victorian top hat and scarf and singing familiar holiday tunes with friends. Jim Blanchette shares behind-the-scenes insights and hilarious anecdotes about what it takes to make it in the Jolly Season! They stop by your table, they sing a gong, now find out what really goes on in the the brain of an overworked musical merry maker!... full review

I hold the intent and the performer in high regard. At the risk of sounding 'cliche', this was a courageous performance. This show has the potential to become something significant, but it is in the beginning stages of development. In the 30-minute window, the character/performer moves quickly through the five stages of grief - beginning in complete denial and ending in full acceptance - but there is no context of how they got through and processed each stage. ... full review

I'm skeptical of anyone who impersonates a star whose face I know as well as my own, but I'm here to tell you DEBORAH ROBIN succeeds splendidly filling the shoes (and a dozen period-accurate costumes) and the persona of Doris Day, a childhood favorite of mine and all the other oldsters who filled her Fringe venue! Christopher Showerman nicely supports her in "telling" her story while she's absent, racing through costume/wig changes & is fine singing "her" songs too. The script is a Publicist's ... full review

Megan Rippey is a tremendous performer and storyteller. ... full review

"Unplugged" is the kind of show that reminds me why I love theater, and also why festivals like Fringe matter. They allow artists to be daring, tell personal stories, and experiment with form. That latitude has given us the gift of this play: a beautiful portrait of family, told with humor, heart and unflinching honesty. It explores themes of artistic ambition and the tough choices we make as life marches on. It asks questions anyone pursuing a dream will relate to. Why do we create? What happ... full review

One of my favorite shows this fringe. Todd Sullivan takes his play so seriously which makes the show feel really sacred even though it's really dumb. He zigs and zags and you never know what to expect.... full review

This show is extremely well-written with incredibly funny and grounded performances. Writer/director Jenna Covarrubias’ intellect, boldness and rousing sense of humor is on full display in this story about such a heavy topic that left me wanting more, more, more.... full review

This show was so intensely stylized, and brilliant executed. The set design, costume design, and shadow puppetry alone make it a must see show. This is classic clown that is really well-executed. Simple, fun games that make the show feel dangerous. Great show.... full review

This was the best piece of theatre I have seen in the last few years. The story and characters resonated with me in a deeply personal way and the energy in the room throughout the performance told me I wasn't alone in this feeling. The story, about a father and son's relationship and the riddle that is pursuing your passion while simultaneously meeting the demands of growing up and living in the world echoes into the second act, where the character, Danny, must answer the same questions again, ... full review

Whelp, this country girl literally “made do” while performing with a hole-y tongue (NOT the religious, snake-handling backwoods kind). The artist incorporated her unfortunate mouth injury spontaneously into the piece with a series of slides at the top of the show and an offer to the audience to shout “Whut?” out loud if they couldn’t understand something she said with a mangled tongue and a Mizz’ippi accent. From the completely surprising, inventive and delightful entrance (won’t spoil it) to the... full review

This was a breathtaking and wonderful show—WOW! It touched every inch of my soul. My mind was completely blown away. The lighting, props, and costumes were chef’s kiss 🔥. The mixture of comedy and drama was so well done. The play spoke about anxiety, trauma, grief, family, and so much more. It touched on every aspect of life and showed why it’s important to take care of your mental health because you never know what the future may bring. Every line and action had a purpose and meaning. I love thi... full review

Something Spooky delivers exactly what it promises: true tales of the strange and frightening, told with a big, beating heart underneath the scares. One moment you’re laughing at Jon Schnitzer’s ridiculous family stories, and the next you’re genuinely tensing up, waiting for the next chill. It feels like being at a late-night sleepover with a master storyteller who knows exactly when to lean into the humor and when to let the darkness creep in.... full review
