Will the Real Me Please Stand Up?

dawn joyal · June 12, 2023 certified reviewer
Alex is a dynamic storyteller. WTRMPSU takes the audience on a wild ride from the present back to toddler-hood and back to the present. All the while taking her listeners on an emotionally charged, funny, sad and oh-so-raw peek into being inside Alex's mind/emotions/motivations.... full review

From an FRINGE alum: Rebecca comes on with a bang and then uses the next 60 minutes to take you on an incredible journey into waiting rooms, Bristol Farms and the #217 bus ...all the while making you laugh, cry and laugh/cry.

Jake & The Angel

dawn joyal · June 02, 2018 certified reviewer
David Caprita's (Jake) 30 minute, one-act is a totally absorbing and compelling trip to a Malibu beach where Jake wrestles with his guardian angel (Josh Wingate) who is not about to let him complete his task. Neither is willing to give a inch. David's beautifully crafted dialogue is well staged and directed by Matt Duggan. Quintessentially all that represents Fringe. A must see! ... full review

THE SECOND COMING OF KLAUS KINSKI

dawn joyal · June 04, 2017 certified reviewer
Wild abandon are the words that come forth. But, where this show could easily have become be a self absorbed, free-for-all, Perez's performance is skillfully crafted/guided by Eric Johnson. Just when you think the mad, passionate, rant will churn into something unintelligible, it drops in and beautifully takes the audience along. The fiber of Klaus' life is woven, unraveled, and rewoven. And by the end, there are a few loose threads you'll still wish to pull. ... full review

Take Me To The Poorhouse

dawn joyal · June 20, 2013 certified reviewer
Liz will make you fall in love with one woman shows again. My first comments,just after curtain, were, "Liz could have told this story with no dialogue at all." Due to her amazing use of physicality. I cared not a bit that there was no set (but for two blocks and a few slides). She held me in her power every minute. Well done.... full review
