Very cool way to learn history! Felt like watching a really interesting live documentary on Doc Maynard, the man who founded Seattle, with great interactive elements and comedy. I enjoyed learning about the history of the area and how it relates to present day. Enjoyable and informative, excellent performance by Jacob! ...

What a gorgeous love letter to Charlie Chaplin! As a lover of silent cinema, seeing the great Charlie Chaplin come to life was so unbelievably cool!!!

One of the most clever and original shows I’ve seen in a long time, this show is a MUST SEE at fringe!!!...

The cast is absolutely electric and while it says it’s a staged reading, it really didn’t feel like it to me. It’s an emotional, powerful rock show that left me wanting to se...

Dark comedy similar in style to Tarantino, absolutely brilliant! The writing is so clever and all three characters are so much fun to follow their journey. I found myself so anxious for the outcome I became so invested. Highly recommend this show!!!! ...

So relatable!!! What a journey back to 1997 told by the dazzling Chris Farah. The use of props and video really painted the picture and gave us a coming of age story we could all identify with. Loved this heartbreaking, vulnerable, comedic tell-all. ...

OBSESSED!!! I had such a blast at this immersive experience and got WAY too into the story. This is truly what an immersive show should be, full of twists and turns and every show is completely different because they go with however the audience participants affect the outcome. Really well thought out, super fun night of theater. House Velvet Curtain forever!!!! ...
