Ben's Viking Trip

I loved this show. Ben's vocals were incredible and it was such an awesome blend of personal, heartfelt, hilarious, and epic, which is a hard combo to pull off! ... full review

Ice Cream Blonde

weslie lechner · June 21, 2025 certified reviewer
This show was a delight throughout with a knock out punch of an ending. An examination of our obsession with true crime and the stories we tell about female victims, the stellar acting and hilarious writing kept me on the edge of my seat in this whodunnit that asks, when we obsess over the perpetrator, do we lose the humanity of the victim in all the noise? ... full review

And Her Children

weslie lechner · June 17, 2025 certified reviewer
Holy hell, this was a phenomenally written, acted, and executed piece. I was riveted from start to finish by an absolutely captivating performance by Hailey McAfee. She took what is often a 2-dimensional villionous character in the cultural zeitgeist and made her human while still managing to never excuse her behavior. You'll be thinking about this one long after the final, chilling blackout.... full review

QFWFQ

I loved this show so much. I went in not really knowing what to expect and came out wondering WTF did I just watch and why do I feel like I need to go have a good cry. Equal parts hilarious, existential, and impactful, I never quite knew where we were going but because I could tell from the start that the show was in the hands of a powerful performer, I was ready for the ride from minute one. Go see this show!... full review

Waking Up Gone Wrong

weslie lechner · June 16, 2025 certified reviewer
The execution was simple, yet powerful. A stripped down bearing of the soul by a storyteller still figuring out what it means to find peace and leaving the audience with the sense that it's okay not to know your ending because self-discovery is a humbling and continuous road. I laughed, I cried, I felt closer to what it means to be an imperfect human that genuinely wants to try to be a little better every day.... full review

This Song Reminds Me Of...

weslie lechner · June 13, 2024 certified reviewer
Kelsey Flynn is a bona-fide emo-rockstar and a hell of a storyteller. Combining her favorite song from that most formative of times (middle school) with all the wonderful, beautiful, cringe-y moments that those songs got her through, she invites the audience to revel in what it means to love music and, ultimately, yourself. If you're looking for a fucking fun time, don't miss this show.... full review

Missions

weslie lechner · June 11, 2024 certified reviewer
Samantha Bowling has the unique ability to touch on deeply difficult and troubling topics without ever succumbing to cynicism. In fact, I always leave her shows feeling in awe of the stubbornness with which beauty, love, and light continue to exist in the world and with a renewed determination to seek them out and hold them close. A must see show by a can't miss artist.... full review

Les Millénniables

weslie lechner · June 11, 2023 certified reviewer
Fun, funny, and painfully relatable for all who feel like a perpetually broke millennial. The performances are delightful and the ensemble has so much fun that you want to stand up and sing with them while rooting for the downfall of capitalism. ... full review

This Was Never Supposed To Be A One Woman Show

weslie lechner · June 11, 2023 certified reviewer
Both funny and raw, Sam takes the audience to some dark places and cares for them so tenderly as she does so that by the end you feel that even the darkest corners have a little light after all. Spellbinding from minute one, this show will make you laugh and cry and fall in love with all the joy and heartbreak that comes with being alive.... full review
