TIMEHEART

Timeheatt was the F*#%*ing BOMB! I cannot say how impressed I was from start to finish. The story is masterful the characters are like living cartoons. The writing was right and the comedy was off the charts; it's obvious that this group is filled with some masterminds. This is NOT your average fringe show. This show should go to Broadway. It would bring down the house. The acting across the bird was fantastic. Especially Kat Primeau delivering a beautiful and haunting narrative, Chris Br... full review

Four Clowns: Romeo & Juliet

The Four Clowns had me crying with laughter. I saw their previous production and could not miss this one. I looking forward to seeing this show for a long time and they did not disappoint. I am so impressed by the work this team does. They have comedic timing down to a science. These clowns took one of the most tragic, well known love stories, and made it witty, hilarious, and even threw in a few surprises along the road. Fantastic work to everyone involved. Oh and I have to add the pianist is... full review

The Last Five Years

lisa summerscales · June 21, 2011 uncertified reviewer
Wow, what great work all around. These actors are phenomenal singers and the live band was fantastic. I woke up the next morning singing these songs. The simplistic staging of this script was a great choice, however (being that I was unfamiliar with the script) It found myself getting pulled out of the world trying to figure out where we were (time wise) in each of their lives. It is a beautiful and tragic story of love and loss. My only wish was that the actors were interacting with each ot... full review

How Did I Get Here?

Everyone has a time in their life when they indeed ask the question "How Did I get Here". Laura opens up her heart for everyone to hear which is a very brave endeavor. Laura had a few strong comedic moments but overall I think that this show needs more time. With a few textual edits and a stronger overall objective this show will be up on its feet. ... full review

Super Sidekick: The Musical

lisa summerscales · June 14, 2011 uncertified reviewer
Go Inky Go!!! A story of a super sidekick taking a stand and saving not only his friend but his crush! This story has a lot of potential and with a some more workshopping of the script bigger space and budget probably a few more ninja koalas I think it would be a lot of fun. There are a lot of funny ideas, great audience interaction, and the songs make for a great heroic story, nicely contrasted by the songs of their evil counterpart. Take your kids, it will be fun.... full review

Evolution of a Kiss

lisa summerscales · June 14, 2011 uncertified reviewer
Evolution of a Kiss was written, performed, and directed beautifully. The level of this one woman show really impressed me. Cynthia's character work was fantastic. Her work was very specific and made each character pop to life. She was adorable, funny, and witty. This show is absolutely relatable, I am pretty sure she made the entire audience blush at her preview. I think one thing that really sets this show aside was the fantastic collaboration with her director. This shows direction was ver... full review
