Excellent acting, moving story, a loving and empathetic look on how trauma shaping can shape one generation of a family and swing back the other way for the next. ... full review

Fun! You'll see the word "chaotic" in many of this show's reviews, because it is, by design. And to good effect. It bills itself (or a performer said at the top of the show) as Burning Man meets Fringe, and that's a fair sketch. There is nudity for its own sake (there's your Burning Man/hippie ethos right up front) -- male and female, and not for any apparently prurient reason, although they are good-looking people; groovy, clownish costumes that evoke raves and Halloween; video bits out of nowhe... full review

A moving look at the sadder aspects of the life of Oscar Wilde which cleverly highlights the sadness by juxtaposing it with his famous (and endless) witty quips. Really good, natural performances and elegantly unfolding in three parts.... full review

I laughed my ass off and the band can really play!... full review

This is an excellent example of message theater. It has an important point to make about our society, one that bears reminding and attention no matter how liberal or enlightened you think you are, which it conveys with earnest grace.... full review

This is an enjoyable ride that will expand your ideas of what exactly constitutes a show -- and I mean that as a compliment. The work of talented, intelligent people, jazz musicians rather than pop.... full review

Fun, funny, lively. Great for its commentary on both theater and reality TV!... full review
