Empathy Party

mandy rubeli · June 23, 2023 certified reviewer
Ariel’s voice is a voice we absolutely NEED in this world. Full of life, love, energy, emotion, heart, and most of all, EMPATHY. I was in absolute awe watching him weave music, poetry, comedy, and honesty together in this wonderful show. It is so impressive to watch him command this stage, but in the most gentle and relatable way possible. I could honestly go on and on and on. Ariel is an incredible talent, and it is crazy to exist on the same plane of existence as him !!! GO SEE THIS SHOW! ... full review

Homeless Romantic

mandy rubeli · June 19, 2023 certified reviewer
Tony was so honest and had amazing stage presence! He knows how to be very in the moment with his audience, and notices everything about them. I loved if someone would walk in late, he would acknowledge them and talk to them. I also appreciate art that is both funny and very sad, and this was an awesome mix of both that made me feel lots of things! SUCH a great job Tony :) ... full review

Heart of Golden Tar

mandy rubeli · June 11, 2023 certified reviewer
Drew is an absolutely fantastic actor, and somehow also an incredibly gifted writer. This show felt like a poem. It was wonderfully absurdist, I almost felt like I was in a surrealist painting or a crazy board game. Do yourself a favor and go see this beautiful piece of art!!! ... full review

Valley Of Light

mandy rubeli · June 11, 2023 certified reviewer
Valley of Light was an amazing fantasy experience! I was transported into another realm that was both intriguing and familiar, with themes of family, love, and loss, that we all deal with in this world. The songs were all beautiful and the costumes SLAYED! Kudos to these artists for putting on such a large scale production at fringe. ... full review
