To Richard!

tobin mitnick · June 30, 2019 certified reviewer
"To Richard" is a moving, impossibly entertaining portrait of two people in dire straits who discover the magic of connection. Moreno's writing is stellar and crisp, but, more importantly, deeply human and unsparing in its acknowledgement of the complexity of tragedy. Do not miss it--so incredibly psyched that it will be coming back for Encores!... full review

The Narcissist Next Door

tobin mitnick · June 27, 2019 certified reviewer
This show was the laugh crack I needed during this Fringe. Not to say that there hasn't been some extremely funny stuff out there, but there's something to be said for a laser-focused comedy that goes goes goes for 75 minutes.... full review

No Child Left Behind.

tobin mitnick · June 16, 2019 certified reviewer
"No Child Left Behind" is a forceful twenty-minutes of terror, humor, and history. Makha does an incredible job of boiling down the entirety of one schoolteacher's identity and prejudices into a single moment in her life.... full review

Ben's play is truly hilarious--a great existential take on the droning nature of corporatedom. He's also a truly gifted comedic performer who's a pleasure to watch.... full review

Siren Call

tobin mitnick · June 13, 2019 certified reviewer
Capricious writing and charming oddness meets the grime and grit of petty jealousy and true violence. It's a contained blast of a show that's both funny and truly mesmerizing.... full review

I Am Not A Man

tobin mitnick · June 12, 2019 certified reviewer
I loved this show a lot. It seems like Heather's aim isn't to indict or to cast blame, but rather to dive into the heartbreaking chasms of understanding that can't ever be bridged--even between a father and a daughter. It takes a brave person to embody her parent, but, as Heather does so with such eerie precision, she reveals that our parents live within us whether we like it or not.... full review

Extraordinary Aliens

This was great. It was a detailed glimpse into the Visa process and its many trials led by a team of international artists. Recommend highly.... full review
