Richard takes you on a unique journey of discovery, human compassion, and animal companionship through a touching, humorous, and authentic performance. Based on his bestselling memoir, The Dog Log, the show captures a first-person look at living next door to a barking dog and perspectives on life in LA. The show is intelligent, interlaced with literary works, yet speaks to the commoner and is easily relatable. The writing is so descriptive that invisible objects come to life during the performanc...

Recommend! I thoroughly enjoyed this show. My Tiger is an authentic look at double racism and misunderstandings that occur when one is of mixed race that leaves the audience questioning the meaning of identity. Normally a complex topic, writer Dionysius Vlachos successfully manages to highlight different aspects of racism and makes it easily relatable. The narrator takes you through various aspects of life via a mixed race lens and uncovers the challenges of racism and bias that can occur at diff...

This was a really fun show! The cast and foley crew do a great job re-creating the 1940's radio play atmosphere. Never a dull moment, full of action and intrigue. Glad I got a chance to catch this at Fringe this year. ...

I really enjoyed the show. Ai tells her journey from a true modern Japanese perspective. Makes one wonder how America is portrayed to foreigners. Her performance is entertaining, touching, funny, courageous, and honest. She speaks from the heart and offers a unique point of view. Being from Japan, one could relate to many parts of her story. It was wonderful to see someone portray the Japanese experience accurately. Ai's courage and honesty in her one woman show is inspirational. Highly recommend...
