Trunk

A tight & taut two hander that slowly reveals its layers over an economic run time. The mystery of what’s inside the trunk is only half the story; and even after the reveal, there’s still more fun to be had thanks to two great central performances. Truly enjoyed this play and can’t wait for more from Jim Hanna!... full review

A wonderful, warm hour of Black Womanhood and the strength that they posses to endure everyday life. Congratulations to Sidney for this amazing production that feels like a family reunion you didn’t know you needed at this year’s Fringe Festival. Must See!... full review

The Chosen One(s)

What a fun, silly romp through the end of the world! Great use of a small ensemble and plenty of imaginative stage transitions and sequences. Never takes itself too seriously, making sure the audience is along for the journey. Really enjoyed the central friendship with the two lead actors. ... full review

Inventive & incredibly human, Eat the Mama feels so incredibly personal. An amazingly committed performance carries the show for the entire 75 mins and never misses an opportunity for humor, nuance & passion. Phenomenal!... full review

Final Girl: The Musical

ra'shawn durell · July 01, 2024 certified reviewer
A fearless, wise and all around necessary piece of theater. Callie has crafted something that is both incredibly personal and all too relatable. By way of familiar horror tropes, she infuses a one-woman show with pathos and pain to bring a tragic and ultimately triumphant story to the stage. It’s brilliant. ... full review
