Punish Me forces you to look the ugly truth and the worst-case scenario in the eye and confront it. Michael expertly created a story that allowed the audience to witness his character's (familiar) turmoil while also giving us moments to breathe. While intense, this show is incredibly beautiful, heartbreaking, and brilliant. I can't wait to see how far this show flies. ... full review

I was truly blown away by the quality, energy, depth, and vision of this work. I came in expecting a snappy comedy and left having witnessed a profound meditation on womanhood, religion, togetherness, and the sea. In no way, however, does Women Who Eat skimp on its fundamentals. The dialogue is electric, the blocking is smooth, the set is inviting, the characters are multifaceted and three-dimensional while still remaining relatable and funny. Each of the actors is a powerful on-stage presence, a... full review

I love immersive work, and 7-Year Bitch puts you there in the club with engaging crowd work and an intimate setting. A must see. ... full review

Unexpected! So much twists and turns that I don't know what's coming next - very enjoyable!... full review

This piece is a delight and constantly funny (and surprising). An excellent time and perfect Fringe show.... full review

This is a delightful and honest exploration of a person bravely claiming the Being they are despite the expectations of the Being they "should" be. Diaz rides that roller coaster of emotions with confidence and command of presence. So much packed into 1/2-hour! "This one goes to 11."... full review

Such a great show. Funny, honest, smart and engaging. Spencer is an excellent performer and a very sharp writer. ... full review

Very timely, creative, and beautiful. It really went to the heart of what is humanity and what technology is doing to us (what we are letting it do to us). ... full review

An externalization of the experience a young artist has at the hands of an unpredictable and abusive mentor. Hilarious, dark, physical, vulnerable. And totally unpredictable. I felt WATCHED during this show, as if I was in the cellist's chair. Fantastic. ... full review

Watching Yelyna tear the stage up like the powerhouse that she is was incredible! This is a story that NEEDS to be told, and folks NEED to listen. I was blown away by her seamless ability to blend her original music, her original story, and her immense well of talent together. I left feeling inspired by Yelyna's truth and unapologetic stage presence. Run, don't walk, to see Hollywood Chola! ... full review

A struggling actor gets an unexpected email that could be the big break he has been waiting for. From that simple idea, writer Derek Brooks turns The Circle into something that grows stranger and more unsettling with every moment. Produced by Rogue Machine Theatre, it is one of my favorite shows at Fringe, thanks in large part to Krosby João Roza’s fearless and mesmerizing performance... full review

I told this to Jenna, but there is always one show at fringe I see at every office hours, at every event. They describe their show to me, and my gut reaction is "this isn't for me". Then, I go see it, and I am blown away, like a roundhouse kick to the throat with a doc martin boot. This year, that show was Alps Adieu. Such a simple concept, right. Story of a family spending time in a cabin in Switzerland. But then, you learn about why they're there, what they're doing there, and it becomes eve... full review

On the Line feels like an episode of a serialized suspense drama that never was. Its tone captures perfectly an 80’s piece that I’d watch too young late at night while being smartly written to actually have something to say regarding assault. ... full review

I highly recommend this entertaining, spooky and hilarious show. Jon Schnitzer is a gifted comedian regaling us with tales of some seriously scary stuff while also throwing in some bangin' one-liners: scary kids with crayons! (You have to hear it from his mouth to get the joke). Schnitzer deftly guides us from the funny stuff into the dark and back out again while losing nothing in the way of creepiness. I screamed a couple of times and I got so spooked that twice I accidentally reached out and g... full review

It's not easy doing a musical when you are doing it with a cast of people. It's not easy doing a musical about a topic that all of us deal with so personally. But to do both in a way that is both entertaining and uplifting while still being relatable is a impossible task that Jasmine absolutely crushes. She takes on the task singing to a track (which is beyond fucking hard by itself), really going the distance with her characters, and giving us an insight into her brain and the struggles she has ... full review

Such smart and funny writing on a difficult subject. Destiny's unique lens allows the viewer to understand and relate to the complex thoughts around considering becoming "unalive". It's really a beautiful work and important theatre for people to see. ... full review

What stands out about this show is that while it is about a specific community (the deaf and HOH) it is so relatable to so many: the experience of existing between two worlds. The feeling of being part of a community, but still "not enough" or "not qualified enough," the fear of being called out for just existing as we are. This is the second time I've seen this show and it just keeps getting deeper and better. TL is a talented performer making us laugh and also at times feel her pain. She puts h... full review

The show is a bold solo piece that successfully creates a very recognizable portrayal of isolation and loneliness in our modern era. The piece is at times unnerving and others hilarious. Many have complicated relationships with their parents and MOTHER is obviously the performer reckoning with their own. See it! ... full review

Irene sings, dances, and clowns her way through the trials of perimenopause. Fun to watch.... full review

You know you're in good hands from the start. Loved it!... full review
