INAPPROPRIATE!

claire partin · June 23, 2023 certified reviewer
"Inappropriate" was a hilarious, guilty pleasure from start to finish. Neo Ensemble Theatre fearlessly tackled everything from scatological humor to S & M to substitute teachers in this group of well crafted sketches at the beautifully revamped Three Clubs venue.... full review

This new musical by Leslie Sloane and Eliza Jane Morris really moves! With top notch performances and a great book and score, the show takes the audience to the exciting niche world of female roller derby in the 1960's.... full review

GETTING THERE! Winner! BEST SOLO SHOW! 2023

claire partin · June 23, 2023 certified reviewer
Rebecca Obrien's patchwork of stories has the illogical logic of taking a bus ride through the streets of LA; You're not always sure where you're going, but in the end you reach the destination. Full of nuance and colorful details, her stories of riding the bus to treatment with her service dog Stella are at times humorous and at times heartbreaking, revealing a deep sense of gratitude to be among humanity in all it's vibrant forms. I felt it was Rebecca's personal valentine to her support syste... full review

KEEPING UP WITH THE PROZOROVS

claire partin · June 21, 2018 uncertified reviewer
Chekhov's THE THREE SISTERS as told by a TV family similar to the Kardashians is both witty satire and a heartfelt, yet sad, glimpse in to the vapid state of American culture. Today we look at Chekhov's writing as classic and remote from us, but Chekhov was writing popular material current for his times. KEEPING UP WITH THE PROZOROVS has the double advantage of commenting on both Chekhov and reality television while giving us a little to think about, besides. This production is a witty, well-pr... full review

UnReel

claire partin · June 21, 2018 certified reviewer
I thought I knew my friend Denzil, but UNREEL proves that there is so much going on inside each of us that even our close friends and collaborators will never really know us. What is brilliant about this surreal solo show is Denzil's non-judgemental look into his own crowded brain to uncover a memory from the distant past. ... full review

"We Are Traffic: An UBER Adventure 2022"

claire partin · June 21, 2018 certified reviewer
"We are Traffic" takes you on all the twists, turns and side trips that a ride share pool in an Uber or Lyft might take you on if your driver were the talented and charming Jonathan Tipton Meyers. From start to finish Jonathan includes you in the experience as if you are one of his ride share clients. All the characters are so present in Jonathan's telling of the stories that this doesn't really feel like a solo show. You definitely feel a part of the "We" in "We are Traffic." With economical s... full review

Disasteroid!

Disasteroid is a fun, imaginative "what if" musical exploring what an unlikely couple would do if they believed the world was going to end. ... full review

Manson's Girls

claire partin · June 21, 2018 certified reviewer
Manson's Girls is a nostalgic, sometimes chilling, sometimes silly fun musical about the women followers of Charles Manson leading up to the infamous Sharon Tate murders. It's a crowd pleasing musical about a mass murderer. One can see how this is a Fringe favorite!... full review
