Karen's performance was beautifully vulnerable and heartfelt! She has a wonderful voice and the songs she performed were perfect for the very personal story she was telling, which I found incredibly relatable. There were some good laughs that made the emotional moments that much more touching. I really enjoyed the show!... full review

Cat is a natural comedian and love the way she can tell a story. She has a keen eye and witty commentary on what is happening with women in today's society and enables effortless laughter throughout the show. ... full review

A beautiful and truthful story capturing the complexities of family, manhood, identity, and coming-of-age. An absolute must see. ... full review

A valiant little musical which brings our attention to a little understood condition. Epilepsy is particularly heartbreaking in children, and the audience to this show feels all the fears and hopes experienced by young Abby and those who love her. The lovely songs brighten the story with humor and engage our sympathy with the characters.... full review

Such a spellbinding peek behind the curtain of some the most hallowed halls of comic book history. Hard to believe it's based on the true stories of the legends involved, which makes it even more enjoyable. ... full review

How refreshing it is to see a play so full of heart, sincerity, and real human experiences. My Brother’s Room was such a sweet piece of theater, filled to the brim with integrity and just the right amount of dark humor. Angus, Abi, Will, and Luka all poured their heart and soul into this production and it shows. I give it my utmost recommendation to fringe goers!! ... full review

The dream team of Brandon and Drew are back this year better than I've ever seen them before. I was lucky enough to enjoy the first iteration of this show years ago, and it has always been one of my favorite shows because of interesting and funny this concept is. It's the perfect commentary on politics without feeling like it gets into some of the most dreadful of today's politics - and does so with so much heart and humor that Drew and Brandon could take the audience anywhere in this show and we... full review

Unseen is a love letter to the hidden figures of live theatre. There are many plays about characters who risked everything for a dream and got it, but stories like these, about how you build a life even when you lose your dream, are just as important. It's about healing, community, and being seen.... full review

"Hold That Thought While I Scream" will make me reevaluate all my therapy sessions moving forward. Barrett DeYoung brings us a unique two-person play with complex characters and a thought provoking narrative on psychological boundaries. The show creatively utilizes the stage and technical elements to put Lady's (an overworked therapist) inner and outer world on display for the audience. I found myself reflecting on the question: how do you take care of others when you can't take care of yourself?... full review

What a treat this show was from start to finish. This show feels incredibly polished, with incredible acting, writing, directing, set and tech design that all comes together to really puts the Broadwater into Space. All of this is joined by such a beautifully told, heartfelt story written by Nicole. The conversations that these characters feel so poignant, relatable, and necessary for so many of us to hear. This is an absolute MUST SEE of the Hollywood Fringe 2026. You'll be a Strange Being for n... full review

Engaging, thought provoking, and very funny. A really cool piece of theater with delightfully absurd elements among the slice-of-life moments that were well acted and seamlessly written. I found the central conflicts to be extremely relatable.... full review
