The word unhinged gets tossed around a lot nowadays, but this show is truly unhinged. Molly Sharpe takes us down a rabbit hole into the depths of desire and endless imagination. It has the vibe of a lonely kid playing in their room, and I mean that in the best way possible. The specific performance I attended was all also attended by Molly's father, if I'm not mistaken.

The unwaivering strength of an actress at her best, this exhibition showcases an engaging struggle to succeed against all odds. There are comedic moments, but they are completely natural. They feel less like jokes and more like a highlighted reality, which are the best kind of jokes. This high wire, high intensity, high stakes performance serves as a monument to perseverance. This production is a tower of tenacity. An infinite construction tied to ancestry, history and modern America, this bu... full review

Supernova a beautifully human story of grief and resilience. Liza Dealey-Thomason is an artist to watch. It's difficult even write about this show as a performance, yet as a performance it is truly remarkable. The vulnerability shown by this woman is extraordinary. Also, she's an incredibly talented singer. Her voice is urgent, powerful and relentless. I cannot recommend this show enough. Supernova is a cosmic event. Ironically, a supernova is the death of a star. The show Supernova is the birth ... full review

The most fun panic attack I've ever had. This show is a playfully chaotic party. It's like the inception of game shows. It's like the Price Is Right on psychedelics.... full review

Maddie is such a lovable weirdo. This show is wholly unique, but somehow relatable. It's like a fun punk fever dream. I can see somebody not liking this show, but I wouldn't want to hang out with them.... full review

The show is a poetic presentation of a colorful character. I've never seen a show less interested in being a show. It didn't feel like a performance. It felt more like a good conversation with a friend you haven't seen in a long time. Familiar yet foreign.... full review

Vanlyfe is a love letter to the power of the human spirit. There is such a strong sense of community bursting through the cracks. The authenticity in this show is undeniable.

This is the kind of show I love seeing at Fringe festivals. I was completely unaware of this work and I'm thrilled to have experienced it. An intimate portrayal of an infamous woman. As if in a Charlie Kaufman movie, we are thrust through a portal into Jackie Kennedy's brain. ... full review

What can I say? This was an absolute gut punch. Both because I laughed hard and felt the emotional weight of this woman's trials. I hesitate to use the word inspirational as it is far overused and underfelt, but suffice it to say this show moved me in a significant way. ... full review
