WE GOT YOUR SIX

Compelling, raw look at the lives of the brave servicemen and women and the everlasting effects of their deployment. The performances are as intense as the horrors they endured but moments of levity remind us that life remains a balance of both. A powerful, beautiful homage to those that serve, bravo to the cast for giving themselves so fully to tell their stories! ... full review

This Was Never Supposed To Be A One Woman Show

mary bonney · June 11, 2023 certified reviewer
This powerful show is a must-see for anyone on the universal, painful, beautiful journey through life and loss. Sam demonstrates through personal stories, gorgeous songs and a hilarious guardian angel the strength in vulnerability, in honesty, in humor in the face of tragedy. A talent beyond compare and a heart bigger than words can say, Sam breaks down the stigma around mental health and how we can take care of ourselves, and each other, through life's darkest moments. Hot tip: skip your makeup,... full review

A Shark Ate My Penis: a History of Boys Like Me

mary bonney · June 09, 2023 certified reviewer
Laser is hilarious, thoughtful, vulnerable and powerful in this show - and not just when he destroys the ghost of JK Rowling with an articulate take down of transphobia. This performance is filled with reflections of Laser's gender journey full of joyful song and dance, clever quips and heartfelt honesty. He shakes out the concept of a rigid gender binary and shows us what an authentic life feels like when you find the strength within you and love around you - do not miss!... full review

CHESS, the Musical

mary bonney · June 09, 2023 certified reviewer
Halfway to Gethsemane contains powerful performances with the right balance of levity to keep us laughing in between reflection on the status of the world... and if we're past saving. Clearly a labor of love, or fear, or that beautiful, therapeutic balance of both that spurs art like this, Halfway... ignites introspection within its audience members and helps us smile through the tears. Bravo!... full review

TURBULENCE!

mary bonney · June 11, 2017 certified reviewer
It's clear after creating musical improv comedy for years together, these talented performers love what they do and thrive in the zany world they created. Their love for this show shines through as they individually contributed to bringing this show to life behind the scenes writing, producing, directing and choreographing it themselves. Even the band members get in on the fun playing the slimy Martian competitors! Robot Teammate have hit their stride creating high-stakes, energetic musicals brou... full review

Up Down Stick Stuck

mary bonney · June 14, 2016 certified reviewer
A beautiful, heartbreaking look into what happens when people let their guard down and show how vulnerable we are. At the end, we all just want to be loved - by our partners, by our parents, by each other. It's amazing what this three person cast does with just a stage and a few props but then again, that's what makes Fringe shows incredible, especially this one. ... full review

Members of the improv team Robot Teammate personalized the characters they play, so that means these talented actors and singers are in roles perfectly crafted for them to really shine.

TIMEHEART

mary bonney · June 10, 2015 uncertified reviewer
This seasoned musical improv group's first scripted show is a playful adventure through space and time! Its unique cast of characters are perfectly written to highlight each member's talents. With a creatively fantastical plot grounded in smart, self-referential jokes and a whole lot of heart, Timeheart is a musical not to be missed! ... full review
