Dana and Justin are such a dynamic pair as actors and creative partners. Dana’s writing was sharp, grounded, well-paced, and very funny. The direction seamlessly moved from dialogue scenes to stand up comedy scenes and immersed the audience in the plot. The basic premise of the play is an unknown woman tests out a famous male-comedian’s jokes to see if they’re actually funny or if he’s just a famous man — genius concept and so well-executed. I loved the climatic moment when Naomi reads Alex’s “bo... full review

Mimi Collins wrote and performed a phenomenal show. I was with Alix every single step of the journey. I understood why she stayed with her husband and deeply empathized with her optimism that he could change, which made it all the more devastating after each betrayal. I appreciated each time Alix, a badass modern woman, implied that if she could just satisfy her husband, then he wouldn't HAVE to cheat as if she was taking subconscious responsibility for his fidelity. It was vulnerable, nuanced mo... full review

I felt like I was in a Sabrina Carpenter music video in the best way. It was campy, ridiculous, random, fun, sexy, and an overall blast. I especially loved Ben and Bex. They made me chuckle and were great with crowd interaction. The immersive pre-show was very enjoyable and made me feel like a detective. Yay musicals!... full review

Drew Petriello knows how to write a comedy!! One moment you're wrapped up in the genuine stakes of the election and the next, a character says something idiotic and reminds you where the show actually takes place. This writing cleverly poked fun at corruption in politics without feeling bleak or heavy-handed. Thomas Hollow came off as a naive, arrogant, yet likable presidential hopeful, which is quite hard to pull off! Reid Emmons was a comedic superstar in this play. I was cracking up anytime... full review

Jukebox musicals can be hard to pull off - they're inherently ridiculous - but Pam embraced the wacky and created a wildly entertaining, and cathartically feminist piece of Fringe excellence. And boy does this team know how to PERFORM. Emily Clark delivered intensity in her acting and excellence in her vocal performance. Rodnesha Green was such a fun surprise halfway through and a comedic highlight. But as a musical theatre nerd, my favorite part was "Light My Candle." Pam and Jeff absolutely NAI... full review

"In the Beginning" expertly dives into all the confusing contradictions and inequities of the genesis story without villainizing religion or God as a character. Adam and God start out as almost antagonistic caricatures of themselves but we slowly grow to understand and appreciate them as complex, flawed individuals. Laurel Preston offers a show-stopping performance as Eve and beautifully portrayed the anger, frustration, confusion, humor, and curiosity that the stellar writing demanded. From the ... full review

This musical is pure joy and whimsy. It was like if Spelling Bee and Seussical had a baby. It was incredibly tight, well-paced, and polished with charming lyrics, beautiful songs, and a lovely message. I want every little kid to see this show and understand how to support their quirky, nervous friends. I can't rave about this show enough!!... full review

Molly Sharpe is a FEARLESS comedian. Her show is interactive, strange, intimate, gory, and graphic and I loved every weird second of it. I was in the audience hoping that I'd get picked to do something ridiculous with her onstage. I did and it was a BLAST. Molly has exceptional comfortability with audience interaction and uses it to pull together the funniest and messiest make-shift concert you've ever seen. Don't miss F*cking Famous!! ... full review

Hailey Hudson was stunning as the lead in this complex, emotional play. Her anger, embarrassment, and confusion was remarkably believable as she faced trauma from her teen years. Norma the Dinosaur was a creative, hilarious, cathartic, and effective metaphor for repressed rage. Mandi's skill as a comedic actor and writer is unmatched.... full review

I enjoyed how I Hate How You Dress revealed itself to you slowly with smart writing and unexpected twists. There is a satisfying balance of comedic moments with the two mentor angels and more serious moments of anger and eventual forgiveness. Our Cemetery had such clear and interesting dynamics between the characters. The performances felt very grounded and believable. It was hilarious to witness these characters reverting back to teenage behaviors like fighting over a boy, smoking pot, and sn... full review
