FEELINGS

mia schachter · June 28, 2025 certified reviewer
This was one of the best shows I’ve seen at fringe thus far. The concept, the set, the cohesiveness of aesthetic, elodie’s brilliant weaving of the light and the dark. I laughed so hard until I sobbed. You can see the hard work and the years of dedication to this project. Elodie’s heart was on their sleeve which gave us all permission to FEEL and feel deeply. I left inspired. A true work of genius. I had an acting teacher once who frequently repeated, “You do the homework until you can forget the... full review

Soft Animal

I saw Soft Animal at Fringe last year and I loved it then. But oh my goodness how it's grown. Soft Animal is a wonderful survey of the entire history of life on earth, and yet somehow it's deeply personal. George is an impeccable clown and comedian. They make me laugh with their LAUGH!

This show is so fun!! Oh my goodness I laughed so much. Tiffany Caputo is such a great character and Charlotte knows her inside and out. The bits between husband and wife were hilarious. Her ongoing feud with her cousin and her dream of a TLC show were such a fun thread to follow. Definitely one of my faves of the festival so far!... full review

A cohesive, thorough, compelling, genuine, heartfelt exploration of the self--as an artist, as a nonbinary queer person, as a Jew. It's beautiful to watch such self-reflective and self-aware art as it's rare and rarely done this well even when it happens.... full review

BABY

mia schachter · July 01, 2024 certified reviewer
I laughed so hard I cried until I cried. I’ve watched this show grow from even babier and I’m in awe every time I see it. Baby is a love letter to moms, to anyone with a mom or a mom-like figure, to artists struggling with choosing their art, and to therapists. Somehow Rachel took a scientific theory that’s become somewhat popularized and taught us about it through showing and telling, effortlessly demonstrating not just what attachment theory is but how it works and how we can heal.... full review
