It's always a delight when you can tell that the cast is having a blast, particularly when they have amazing camaraderie with each other, And that was certainly on display with this show. I sincerely enjoyed the mixed media approach, the filmed skit was hilarious. ... full review

I had a strong feeling that I would find the show hilarious, but what I wasn't expecting was to laugh heartily while also being incredibly moved by the genius allegorical approaches that this show brilliantly takes. I found all of the characters to be incredibly rootable, I found myself sincerely deeply invested in what happened to each of them, which is a huge accomplishment, particularly in a shorter play. I think that everyone who sees this play, regardless of their life circumstances, can hea... full review

I feel that this show was absolutely phenomenal. I was blown away by the theatricality and mesmerizing elements present at every step of the show. This play does a phenomenal job using allegory to explore a very sensitive topic in an artistically engaging manner. The entire cast is incredibly talented and showed a courageous vigor in tackling the challenging subject matters of the show. I want to highlight that this show perhaps had the best pre-show offerings I’ve ever seen. John Wuchte clearly ... full review

I sincerely appreciated the theatrical and abstract element that was incredibly present throughout this play. I feel that the creative team used the space beautifully, and really optimized the feeling of isolation and being “trapped”, externally in the room, and internally within one’s own guilt. Both of the actors were amazingly committed come on and clearly had excellent chemistry with each other. I highly recommend this play if you're looking for something unique and thought-provoking. ... full review

Wow, this was absolutely brilliant and innovative in every sense of the word. I'm still blown away by how the concepts completely enraptured me and touched on so many important themes that I'm passionate about. I feel that this miraculously manages to be a beautiful love letter and hilarious satire of theatre at the same time, and it almost feels impossible for these two to exist in tandem. Not only did the play constantly have me laughing, but it made me consistently stimulated come on thinking ... full review

I appreciate the bold and unabashedly wild nature of this show. There was some excellent use of dramatic tension and unexpected twists that created a level of captivation. There were some brave and theatrical choices within the storytelling of the play that I also appreciated.... full review

I truly commend this production for being completely honest and brave at every step of the performance. As a therapist myself I know how difficult it is to talk about mental health in such a vulnerable way, exposing the deepest and most personal struggles that we experience in the mind. It's so tempting to keep these struggles inside for no one to ever know about them, but as this show beautifully articulates, the pain usually stays within us for a long time until we finally release it. I highly ... full review

A unique production that humanistically captures the voice of a profession that we rarely get to hear in an authentic and empathetic manner in American society. There were some exciting concepts explored throughout the production that was thought-provoking and inspired interesting thoughts within me. Melissa is a talented performer, and I appreciate the level of courage she brought to the role. In a sea of many one-person shows at the Hollywood fringe, this play certainly stands out. ... full review

I was truly blown away by the deeply powerful performances and creative choices of Tracers. I felt so deeply connected to these young men and their stories, knowing that they represent something far greater than just the individual experiences of their characters, but authentically capturing the tragedy of the loss of innocence for these people who served in the Vietnam War. I deeply appreciated the skillful balance of comedy and devastating drama throughout the piece. It was so much fun to watch... full review

I had a wonderful time seeing this courageous and deeply inspiring performance by Mark Vigeant. I was constantly blown away by the level of complete vulnerability and willingness that Mark displayed at every single moment of this show. I can't even imagine having that level of vitality. Mark was drenched in sweat for almost the entirety of the performance, and I deeply appreciate the commitment that he gave to providing total entertainment to the audience. In addition to being extremely funny, th... full review
