Three Can Keep A Secret

ryan lisman · June 13, 2017 uncertified reviewer
I really enjoyed seeing Three Can Keep a Secret, the audience choice aspect was really fun and gave me a lot of personal buy-in. Carey Matthews deserves tons of credit for his hilarious performance, his character work was fantastic, he had the audience in uproarious laughter for a majority of the time he was on stage. I do really recommend seeing this show for a unique and comical theatrical experience. ... full review

Orange Mango Cabaret

ryan lisman · June 13, 2017 certified reviewer
This show came at an excellent time, and is important, political theatre of this nature is an excellent way to use art to produce a change in our society. I think that this play would be wonderful for anyone who is extremely frustrated with our government/society (I imagine that's most everyone) and needs a way to get out the frustration. I really enjoyed this show and would highly recommend it. ... full review

Urban Theatre Movement Presents: Urban Unrest

Urban Theatre Movement is becoming my absolute favorite Theatre Company in LA, everything they do is so raw and edgy, approached with such gusto, and does a wonderful job of holding a mirror up to society. All 4 of the pieces in this show gave you so much to think about and left you feeling very enlightened. ... full review

Too Many Hitlers or: The Decoy Decameron

ryan lisman · June 13, 2017 certified reviewer
It took some major guts to put up this play, it's inherently controversial, and I love that about it. The play was always engaging for me mainly because of how brave the concept was. The play is a constant series of laughs, Steven never fails to deliver for me. ... full review

Masc4Masc

I think this play is a very fun experience and also very enlightening about so many aspects of the LGBTQ community. I really loved the satirizing of all of the need to labels that exist in our society, particularly for gay people, and thought that the topic was handled in a very innovative and engaging way. I highly recommend Masc4Masc.... full review

Quantum Entanglement

I had a wonderful time at Quantum Entanglement, it was a very unique and exciting theatrical experience and I highly recommend it. I really love plays that are innovative and present something that pushes the boundaries of Theatre, and I feel that this play absolutely did that with it's quirky story-telling devices and lack of any typical structure. Oh and that cat was fucking awesome. ... full review

This show is very interesting and I would highly recommend it.

I promise that you will have a great experience seeing this show. ... full review
