Reconsider Me

lynn beck · June 24, 2022 certified reviewer
"Reconsider Me" was a very well acted and directed play. The director made great use of a small stage and the characters were all well defined and well acted. The play explores timely themes of life, death, friendship and sexuality. I highly recommend this play.... full review

This Remains Between Us

lynn beck · June 20, 2022 certified reviewer
This show was phenomenal. All three cast members were talented and had incredible dramatic and comedic range, and the directing was smart, moving and funny. I don't want to give away a spoiler. But the visual image of bringing something down from the attic was hysterical. See this show!... full review

Noor Inayat Khan: The Forgotten Spy

lynn beck · June 14, 2022 certified reviewer
Almanya Narula did an incredible job bringing the untold story of "Noor Inayat Khan" to life. She really inhabited the character and was at once strong and vulnerable. It makes one think of all the incredible women who have been left out of HIStory. ... full review

Ernest was remarkable as Robert Ingersoll. It was a fascinating history and diatribe on religion. Ernest stayed in character throughout and looked the part in period costume.... full review

The Toughest Man In Chicago

lynn beck · June 06, 2022 uncertified reviewer
I met Mitch at the very first Office Hours and we've become Fringe friends so I was excited to see his show. I'm glad I did. Mitch embodied Mike Royko, but it was also a fascinating history of Chicago with themes of politics, racism and gun control that are still so relevant today. You should definitely see this show!... full review

DI LADY DI

lynn beck · June 06, 2022 certified reviewer
Holy moly, Charlotte Munson was AMAZING! It was truly an acting tour de force. And she wrote the music, the book and the lyrics, which were all wonderful. The staging was also fantastic and it was fun the way she interacted with the audience. I would definitely recommend seeing this show and hope that it gets picked up by a bigger theater!... full review

I thoroughly enjoyed the HFF workshop on budgeting and fundraising. As a first time producer at Fringe, I'm finding that these workshops and panels are a great resource for how to produce low budget theater in LA. I highly recommend them for anyone who's thinking about or committing to producing a play at the Hollywood Fringe Festival.... full review
