This Our Now

jessica lynn verdi · June 21, 2017 certified reviewer
Man, millennials just get it... so smart to market the show honestly. A bunch of recent college grads who are doing their best to write a show about life... that kind of marketing either pulls in the millennial audience, or challenges an older audience to come and see if they can pull it off. Spoiler alert. THEY DO. ... full review

TURBULENCE!

Go see this show. Go see this show. No seriously what are you still doing here GO SEE THIS SHOW. Fantastic songs, harmonies, and dancing. Hilarious, ridiculous, but grounded. Great storytelling and more. They hit this one out of the park.... full review

I'm Too Fat for This Show

jessica lynn verdi · June 19, 2017 certified reviewer
Eating disorders, OCD, societal body standards. Let's talk about it, huh? Well, not only did Kate Huffman talk about it, she bravely shared about her struggles with it, and had us thinking and LAUGHING about it. Her ability to weave her personal story with strong writing, clever staging techniques, technology, and multiple characters (have to see it to understand just how good this mechanism worked) created a fantastic performance piece. Ms Huffman has given us not only a piece of art, but a piec... full review

Trump in Space- The Musical

You guys... this. show. is. GREAT! For those that may be shell-shocked just seeing his name... do not be deterred. This show is super far in the future... and... not that it isn't about Trump, it offers a more keen perspective on how his presidency divides us... in a funny musical no less! Make time to see this show. It has a brilliant future ahead of itself, even though we all home someone else... *ahem ahem* might not. Go investigations, go!... full review

Man... I didn't know watching real life stories from online dating could be so fun and enjoyable! Loved the clever use of familiar songs to tell the true tales of online dating mishaps. Knowing the music allowed the audience to enjoy the ride and be surprised with the clever ways lyrics were rewritten or re-purposed. The ensemble was wonderful, the examination of online dating was a little too real, but cleverly addressed, and I'd recommend anyone go to see this show if they're looking for a good... full review

The ABCs

jessica lynn verdi · June 16, 2017 certified reviewer
Timely, thoughtful, & tough to watch... in a good way. The ABCs offers a view into the world as young women are faced with technology and what the price of perfection truly costs. You can tell they really did their homework to reflect in an honest, yet entertaining way, what being a teenager is like today. Even though I went to high school at time where instagram wasn't even a glint in Kim Kardashian's eye... peer pressure and pop culture suggested often that I wasn't pretty enough to be accepte... full review

Ladies in Waiting: The Judgement of Henry VIII

jessica lynn verdi · June 13, 2017 uncertified reviewer
This show is an absolutely MUST SEE. Henry VIII is on trial in purgatory, and his jury is comprised of his many wives... Offering a new perspective for each of the women held to the will of the second Tudor, this show is accessible to History buffs and not-so-muchs. Moves quickly, but isn't rushed. ... full review
