This show is expertly crafted chaos and I loved every single second and wanted more. Jill's acting (and Calliope's direction) was flawless, and fascinating. The script was insanely funny and Jill nailed every beat, every turn, with precision and intention. ...

One of the best shows I've seen at Fringe this year. I knew it would be funny? but I wasn't expecting to be losing it for *most* of the show. I cannot stress enough how funny this show is. But not only that, Its also healing. Dan leads us through a, real jungle, so to speak, his journey through religion and faith, and even though the show is about getting lost, you really walk out of it feeling like lost is exactly where you're supposed to be. Dan truly had his audience wrapped around his fin...

Max is just so stinking funny and charming. I was tickled the second he stepped on stage. But I also learned a lot about Crohn’s disease and I feel like I have a better understanding and compassion for the condition now and I’m grateful for that. Also Beth Rickey was such a bad ass!! Super inspiring show. ...

Very fun. Kelsey’s voice is just truly stunning and that is impressive enough for me but her writing voice is just so sharp and funny. The meta-narrative of it all… the mechanism she’s built is really very smart and just so so fun to play inside! ...

This Way Yonder is a really beautiful story about complex family dynamics, independence, and growing pains set in a very specific time and place insomuch as this story could not have taken place anywhere else. The writing is reminiscent of a more humor-driven Tennessee Williams, and the cast's preparation really showed in monologue after monologue, hitting each nuanced note with care. Not to mention the chemistry between the cast was easy and believable, and the direction was seamless. Highly r...
