Sometimes Shakespeare can require the audience to really work to follow the plot. This show is NOT like that. Even watching at 11am on a Sunday, I was able to easily relax into the plot and laugh my way through the numerous escapades. Arden of Faversham is 80 minutes of hijinks, followed by a (somewhat brief) dénouement.... full review

Mother was an emotionally validating piece for adult children with complicated parental relationships, particularly mothers. Though cultural conversation around fraught relationships and parental estrangement are becoming more and more common, we often hear only the logistical details of separations and aren't seeing the lasting impact of a child not getting the relationship they need from their parent.

Brian is a master of intention. The nuance he uses to express himself and his comedy is awe inspiring. This show felt like a wonderful meander through the wacko brain of his protagonist. Nonsense in the best sense of the word.... full review

Johnny is an absolute powerhouse— what can’t this man do?! His acting, writing, and music were all mesmerizing. Plus, the supporting actors Jaclyn, Gabriella, & Marali were all incredibly gripping in their own right.

I had no idea what to expect and that makes sense because I have never seen anything like Test Pilots (and specifically Baby's First Show). It was hilarious and concerning and beautiful and interactive. I *think* the audience was in charge of the narrative but I also felt completely at the whim of their director. ... full review
