'Two Girls One Bard: Romeo & Juliet' was a fun piece of long form sketch comedy. I'm not usually into sillier pieces, but I had a blast in this tour de force R&J. Would love to see which of the Bard's pieces these ladies take on next!... full review

As a woman I could relate to every word spoken and every emotion felt on that stage. And as I the show ended and I looked around the room, I was pleasantly surprised to see they weren't just preaching to the choir as the packed audience was nearly half men! In a hilarious and affecting 1 act, Savannah Dooley hits the nail on the head with 'Smile, Baby' that has up until now only been truly realized in the #YesAllWomen social media campaign. Cast standouts were Madison Shepard as Doug, Jessica De... full review

Ann Starbuck is a masterful storyteller. The story itself is riveting, but Ann brings a whole other life to it with the characters she presents. The simple but inspired set transports the tiny black box stage into an instantly iconic Chinese landscape. The sound design was evocative and poinent- perfectly designed to only add and never distract from the real emotion and story. This story and performance had so much heart and transported the audience right there to Tiananmen Square. Congrats t... full review

This was a really interesting portrayal of Romeo and Juliet. Let's face it- Romeo is basically a teenage girl, so the idea of him being portrayed by a woman is not that far off.

This trio of ladies having fun, drinking, being crass, and genuinely sharing love for one another was really well done. The relationship of Capulet being an overbearing and abusive mother to a sensitive son was also surpris... full review

This is a cute and funny original work. Easily able to be portrayed as a jerk, Graham (played by Ivan Lovegren) comes off as sympathetic and lovable. Cast standout was Amy Granados. The brilliantly written "monologue" is one any woman has at least thought once about an ex and Granados delivery is meticulous and spot on.... full review

This was an interesting and entertaining production. So nice to see a unique story about two women.... full review

Starting off at a sitcom pace with punch line after punch line until it takes a darker (yet still comedic!) twist, A Very Modern Marriage is a whirlwind 75 minutes of side splitting laughter. Scott Marden really brought to life Arthur M. Jolly's comical love story and kudos to the cast!... full review

It's refreshing to see an play that fits in the "Arty" and "Feminist" categories NOT alienate the audience. I am firm believer that to make change in the world, humor and accessibility are the best ways to make your point. 'The Other F Word' really allows the concept of women as equals to shine without bashing it in to our skulls. This feminist piece is very man friendly. And to win the war of equality, we need the other side to join ours. Alyson Mead truly writes to both sexes. Because ... full review
