Ben's stand up is funny and so real! I love the he explores both the complications and the love he has for his father at the same time. A wry and beautiful memorial!... full review

This is a comedic scientific TED talk. It is not sexy, despite what the show art might have you believe. But what it is, is a brilliant, funny, informative and interesting lecture on the nature of sex in the world. Super interesting and well worth your time if you’re a science nerd. ... full review

This show stands on its own as a cute, moving, and funny short play! ... full review

A boy dreams of being a knight, and a very good knight. What seems like a simple premise evolves into an abstract (and ridiculous) exploration of what it means to be a man, what it means to be human, and what it means to be alive.... full review

Congratulations on this ambitious, dynamic and visually striking fever dream! The puppets and theatricality were both beautiful and subversive. A destructive catharsis from our existing power structures.... full review

Hoop is a simple idea. It’s part clown, part mentalism, and relies heavily on audience interactions. I’m still trying to figure out what the show was about, what hole was meant to be filled and if she’d gotten the audience interactions she wanted, how would it have been different? The audience participation parts did not go the way she wanted in the performance I saw and there didn’t seem to be a plan for how to continue the show with an audience that didn’t react the way she wanted. It felt a ... full review

Sam Gibson is a fearless, vibrant performer, fully committed to every ridiculous clown offer and bringing the whole audience along for the ride! "Country Girl Makes Do" is so evocative of a certain time and place, playing with different levels of heaviness and lightness from Sam's personal history. I loved it.... full review

At times reminiscent of Samuel Beckett, A Rock Feels No Pain is an intimate two hander between an aging male television star and an up and coming young man on the verge of his first big break. It shows a side of male friendship and mental health struggles rarely touched on in media today. ... full review

Incredible all around! ... full review

What a wild show! It truly felt I was plopped into the seventeenth century and I was watching an Elizabethan soap opera. All plot all the time, easy to follow, and riveting to behold!... full review

Total raunchy summer fun. Laugh til you cry type of show. The performances were brilliant, loved the subtleties of Lydia and her story of heartache.... full review

I thought Cylie Janiece was charming, fun and sincere in her performance. All of her characters were clear, different and well-acted. This piece was like a lover letter to theater, live performing and also embracing the natural highs and lows we all face as we change and our industry changes. A fun and earnest show encouraging connection with people. Glad I saw it! Welcome back to the stage Jackie, Baby!... full review

There are plenty of apocalyptic shows out there, but this one explores something new, a fresh take on the apocalypse--what happens when it's a false alarm? This show is high energy and full of comedic moments. The two main characters are charming and while the supporting characters are technically villains, they're also endearing. But at the end, you realize it's not just a show about the possible apocalypse--it's about two people finding each other. ... full review

A transmutation of corporate girlboss trauma into comedy, weirdness, music, and ultimately, hope.... full review

This show highlights the commitment, creativity and charm of this passionate ensemble!... full review

A lovely balance of a (very moving) history lesson and Vivi’s personal connection to it. The storytelling was engaging and I wanted to hear more!... full review

These two wildly different short plays led to one great fringe experience. Both take you on a journey from start to finish and left me thinking and talking to my friends for hours after… Highly recommend! ... full review

Unseen is a phenomenal solo show about the real heroes behind theater--the dressers. Kim Prentice does an excellent job of sharing her personal experience not only as a dresser, but also as a dancer and writer. Through multiple characters and brief dance numbers, she creates the backstage world of Broadway theater. ... full review

Pit of Hope hit me right in my heart! The performances were top notch across the board, the message was salient without being preachy, and the set design was powerful without being overwhelming. As an Eaton Fire survivor who also lost their soul dog last year (to old age, don't worry! He had a great life), there was no way I was getting out of this show without bawling. I was so incredibly uplifted by the end and riveted throughout. You'll laugh, cry, and want to hug your dog very tightly after t... full review

Intimate, powerful, and inspiring, I was mesmerised by Shahin Sayadi’s performance from the very moment he walked on stage to the conclusion of our time together. Beautiful, poetic, and at times frightening and unexpected, this piece has piqued my curiosity in Iranian history and mythology. Through the specificity of his work, Shahin has created a piece that is relevant and relatable across cultures. I appreciated how open and vulnerable Shahin was with his audience, effortlessly connecting with ... full review
