Oh, man, that was SO MUCH FUN! If you love The Bard and you like to choose your own adventure, you are going to LOVE this! ... full review

This powerful two-hander leaves you thinking about the "value" of a life and the importance of recognizing our human connection as an access to our mental health.... full review

This show is autobiographical, but it is also so dang universal! David personally reflecting on how he's spent the precious time of his life, leaves you laughing AND inescapably considering how you're spending your own!... full review

I was so excited to see "Part 2," as I found the first inning SO delightful, and I was NOT disappointed. It was a home run for sure!... full review

What a powerful and authentic "slice of my life" one person show - that is about SO much more than this one person. Rebecca shares a very funny and very real look at her life, riding daily on public transit in LA while being treated for breast cancer. We get to witness her journey through illness that holds up a mirror to her relationship to the world, to her family and to herself. And along the way, the characters we encounter are delightful, distinct and even lovable.... full review

I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised that Vengeance Productions – the writer/actor/director trio of HFF16 Best Comedy Winner, Lamprey: Weekend of Vengeance – would deliver something so solidly funny on stage with OH LORRAINE!

This one-hour solo show lets us experience Art’s playful thought process as he considers this question, "too old to change?" He does not lean too heavily on stale wisdom with age musings, instead questioning if he is wise at all, or still just “silly and stupid.” All to say, there is nothing silly or stupid about this show and his performance. It was charming, thoughtful and packed with grand-Dad jokes. ... full review

This young woman’s exploration of life as lived through her unique perspective – labeled by some as “gifted” and others as mental illness – she sends an extraordinary message of self-awareness. ... full review

What an exceptional example of how a one-person show can be entertaining AND relevant. Playing the legendary Chicago columnist, Mike Royko, Mitchell Bisschop brilliantly weaves together Royko's own columns to paint a picture of a man unafraid to use the report of his typewriter to take aim at some of the most corrupt and dangerous people (and prejudices) of his time and of the town he loved. ... full review

Steve is an exceptional performer, using his library of talents - acting, singing, writing AND playing the flute! The show is charming, allowing us to gently engage with some not-so-gentle themes. ... full review
