Love love LOVED this show!!! Such a captivating and compelling journey through bullying & growing up, acted with immense vulnerability and childhood wonder. I was only able to go to camp for a couple years growing up, but this brought me right back to those magical summers. Michelle doesn't hold anything back in this in your face ride that kept me on the edge of my seat from the moment she stepped on stage. My heart broke with Michelle as she struggled to understand her dad leaving, topped wi... full review

The Sad Life Of A Happy Man

Just. WOW! This show is breathtaking & an absolute MUST SEE! From the moment the lights came up, I was instantly captivated. Ty was so very present and his turmoil, heartbreaking. He encapsulated it all on such a personal level that made his struggle even more relatable. The conflict with his inner voices erupted into emotion that pulsed through him into dance and movement. Sooo powerful! We all know people who have dealt with depression, but have sadly become so numb to it. With Dowling's i... full review

FERTILE.

Just. WOW! Heather Dowling takes a very personal subject & weaves in both heart felt humanity & light hearted comedy in a way that only she could. As a woman over 30, I can't count how many times I get asked when I am planning on having kids. Whether you want them or not -- people somehow feel entitled to ask you. Heather tapped into her own vulnerability with truth and transparency ... I just can't say enough. A definite MUST SEE rollercoaster that brings the audience from laughter to ... full review

HUZZAH!! Mind-blowingly AMAZING!!! Terra is ingenious in how she weaves the words of the Bard into modern day talk... she makes it so incredibly accessible you honestly don't realize it's Shakespeare, thinking -- "yeah, that's just how we talk!" I laughed... I cried... I was blown away. Trust me when I say you do NOT want to miss this modern day Shakespearean Queen & her phenomenal story. Don't know much about Shakespeare? Not a problem! Intimidated by the charming Will? I dare you to come... full review

When you walk in the door & are handed a poncho AND condoms... you know it's gonna be a rockin good time. And Cherise did not disappoint -- she had me from the moment the lights came up. This girls brain is truly a marvel to behold as she throws balls to the wall, bearing her heart & soul in this hilarious emotional rollercoaster. She makes you think. She makes you feel. She makes you laugh. Heck, she even sings!! And -- um -- did I mention condoms??!! This is one show you do not want to mis... full review
