Danny and the Deep Blue Sea

anthony kaufman · June 11, 2026 certified reviewer
Emotionally enthralling & effectively immersive. Carter & Jo Beth's evocative performance was so captivating, you could hear a pin drop, save for the occasional collective gasp from the audience. There wasn't a dry eye in the house. I was somehow both sitting on the edge of my seat, white-knuckling the arm rest, while simultaneously sinking back into it, with a blanket & a pint of ice cream, contemplating my own life experiences. The best part is, even after all of that, you're still left with a ... full review

Leaving Shakespeare

deborah norton · June 11, 2026 certified reviewer
What a unique play this was. Using Shakespeare's female characters as a launching point to illustrate women's issues today, that's a bold undertaking! There was humor, compassion and the sketches even illustrated constructive solutions for resolving typical relationship problems. The actors did a great job in their multiple roles and diverse characters. It was a very heartfelt play and the content stuck with me long after it was over.... full review

BURN SCAR

kate fuglei · June 11, 2026 certified reviewer
This is a stunning, moving and at times very witty show about the fires that devastated our city in January of 2025. It manages to be both very intimate and deeply personal while at the same time profoundly universal. There are thoughts and moments and images that I am still thinking about and will never forget. It is honest and also hopeful. ... full review

This show is a MUST SEE!!! Rachel is such a talent and a star! She can sing, she can dance, she can be vulnerable and hilarious all at the same time! I'm lucky enough to know Rachel, but honestly, even a complete stranger would benefit from seeing this show!! I've been telling everyone to go because it's the perfect combination of comedy and heart-wrenching intimacy. It's so beautifully performed and thoughtfully created.

THE LINCOLN DEBATE

charles ziarko · June 11, 2026 certified reviewer
In today's hectic (& History-averse) marketplace, what topic can you tap to ignite boxoffice interest in a US President 2 centuries ago? A GAY connection? O-K.!! Lots of research went into this exploration of Lincoln, ALL of it = regurgitated, every unimportant date & every forgettable name. The "Gay Subtext" is only a "B" story, though, so the script has been bulked-up with already familiar Lincoln lore, making wife/widow Mary Todd another aggressive central character, before his Presidency (g... full review

Grief Box

jonah weiland · June 11, 2026 certified reviewer
A fun exploration of grief and those "life strategists" & "inspirational speakers" who attempt to exploit people going through it. As serious as the subject matter is, it's more about those who attempt to take advantage of those struggling and how, secretly, they may be going through it themselves. The turn at the end is well earned and Kathleen was a delight to watch.... full review

The Delulu Diaries

christine romero · June 11, 2026 certified reviewer
This show was a unique quirky take on losing your marbles and coping with life's many curveballs. I left with the impression that this was really about what so many of us go through trying to make it when the societal stage is dysfunctional surrounding dating, career, and maintaining good mental health. Lucy made going bananas warmly understandable even when the darker angst was palpable. ... full review

Jimi Darkness: Alcoholic Superhero

léa lounda · June 11, 2026 certified reviewer
This show is fun and enotional at the same time! The music blends rock and gospel. It’s so delicate to put a musical about addiction and somehow they did it, so many people in the audience were crying. It’s a healing show in a fun way! I recommend 2000%... full review

Alberta, Alberta!

byron coolie · June 11, 2026 certified reviewer
I had a really good time with Alberta Alberta! Beyond its entertaining performances and intriguing premise, the show left me reflecting on the ways modern life affects our mental and emotional well-being. As conversations around AI continue to evolve, the play offers an accessible and compassionate look at the universal need to feel seen, valued, and less alone. It's an original Fringe piece that feels both relevant and human, and I found myself thinking about its ideas long after the performance... full review
