I thought this show was excellent! Tight, moving, funny and sad with really exceptional performances by both actors. It was intimate and I really enjoyed myself. ... full review

Little Stars Youth Theatre Presents: MACBETH (a solo show)

meg cashel · July 02, 2023 certified reviewer
I actually had no idea of the premise before I walked in - I had heard the show was fantastic and Jill was hilarious but I knew nothing else and I was just blown away. I laughed SO much but it also sort of broke my heart. Jill had us at the very start - a slightly deadpan, but mostly just grounded in reality character that we laughed at and with and loved and understood and also happened to be. The crowd work was excellent, the timing was *chef's kiss* and I loved Devin the nervous 8 year old. I ... full review

Thank You So Much For Coming

I absolutely loved this weird ass piece of theatre. I laughed and laughed and then sort of wanted to cry and then I laughed again instead. It was brave, exciting, completely unique and just fabulous. Alex is such a committed and specific performer, and that character lived in every bone in her body. She was alive with it. I just loved it and would see it 40 times. ... full review

Flayed

I found this show to be deeply brave, moving, hilarious, witty, exciting, disturbing, utterly fantastic and pretty genius. It moved, it kicked, it punched and I just really can't say how impressed and excited I am to see work at this caliber. It was kind of everything to be honest. Josiah is a unique talent. ... full review

BRAVE FACE

meg cashel · June 23, 2023 certified reviewer
ughhh it punched me in the gut. I was really impressed by the design and the tech elements, and Everleigh is an incredibly bold, interesting and dynamic performer. I found it really uncomfortable to watch and I think that was the point - bold, balls to the wall work. ALSO it was cool to see her play both this part and Jackie!! Similarities, but the energy placement (this is cheesy hear me out) was different - I felt like Jackie's energy and drive came from chest and this character's energy (I ca... full review

Riley is a weird, fantastic person and I'm a huge fan of his work. The absurdist nature of the show was just a chef's kiss. I laughed and laughed and then had a moment where I thought, "this was such a weird and bold decision." I love a fearless performer, someone who throws it all out there, and commits with their whole body - that is Riley to a T! ... full review

If I'm Good

meg cashel · June 23, 2023 uncertified reviewer
I loveddddd this. I found it very challenging, engaging, confusing, upsetting, funny, moving and many more adjectives. I couldn't decide who I hated more and ALSO who I loved more. I thought the acting was pretty exceptional from both actors and I thought the show was remarkably honest. I love that both were vilified and both were humanized. It was also hard to watch - I remember screaming at people on facebook during the pandemic. Whoopsie. Really found this to be incredibly engaging and honest.... full review

Personal, relatable, kind, angry, thoughtful, hilarious, wonderful, heartbreaking, idk, probably a billion other adjectives.I think Nick is uniquely talented. A really gifted performer, and I felt pretty honored that he shared so much of himself with us. 10000/10. ... full review

Raise Your Hand... From the DEAD!!

meg cashel · June 18, 2023 certified reviewer
FUN FUN FUN, I had FUN. It was silly and heartfelt, and mostly it was good clean FUN. The audience was having fun, the performers were having fun - I got a little choked up because I'm so happy and grateful that we get to just be silly in a room together again. The direction was lovely and tight, and I loved the hand. The hand reminded me of my beautiful devil dog who was the best dog in history but deeply misunderstood. `... full review
