Livin' the Dream (a journalistic journey)

pam noles · June 26, 2019 certified reviewer
An entertaining series of anecdotes by a man who is living a much broader life than most, recreating himself as time and circumstance require. It's very much a work in progress by a first time performer, and a good first draft/solid effort.... full review

The People VS Hell Kross

pam noles · June 14, 2018 certified reviewer
This delightful tribute to the era when hair metal and satanic panic were at their zenith has a killer cast (that can *actually* play their instruments *and* sing well) throwing down a script that manages to wink at nostalgia while being quite relevant to current issues. It was Super Fun! \m/... full review

TSTMRKT

pam noles · June 20, 2017 uncertified reviewer
I have never in all my years of being audience in live theater seen something quite like this show, as far as the automated technical demands Hemmings & Jenay have to be Absolutely On Point With to pull it off. And they are! And it is HYSTERICAL. Note to future audiences: when the projection asks if you, the audience, would like one more / an encore? SAY YES WITH YOUR APPLAUSE to bring them back out on stage for the encore piece. Trust Me On This.... full review

Why We Become Witches

pam noles · June 20, 2017 uncertified reviewer
I went into this expecting BLOOD AND SATAN,*** and instead got a wickedly charming, very funny examination of class manners and the rigidity of the space A Certian Type Of Woman was allowed to exist within during the time period this work is set in. This performance made me hit up the internet(s) to find the book it's based on when I got home. I hope the book is as good as this adaptation. If it's not? Shame on the book! ***Okay, maybe actually hoping for it because clearly something is wro... full review

A Jingle A Go-Go: The Musical

pam noles · June 04, 2017 uncertified reviewer
A fun and fast musical with an appealing cast and earworm-worthy original jingle songs, especially the <redacted for spoilers> one that is the whole point of the show. Worth checking out!... full review

Come Fux With Us

pam noles · June 19, 2016 uncertified reviewer
I thought this *might* be a DudeBro show. I'm so glad it wasn't entirely! These two go to places of Vulnerable that guys don't like to, in general. Their storytelling is as tight as their friendship, and they trust each other enough to put their different versions of "gentlemen" onstage without fear. This was a delightful show.... full review

Life, The Universe and Chris McGowan

pam noles · June 23, 2012 uncertified reviewer
Who hasn't dreamed of going back throughout the timeline of your life and fixing everything that was so very wrong? Geeks can do that, on stage anyway. Completely delightful all the way through, with a deft use of hilarious personal anecdotes blended with heartfelt emotion and pitch-perfect geek pop references, all sold by McGowan's super-charming, high energy presentation. (42 minutes. Hee!)... full review

2012 PRODUCTION

pam noles · June 23, 2012 uncertified reviewer
I had kept myself spoiler-free - which was not easy, as people have been raving about this at Fringe Central Station left and right - so I sat down expecting something cute and frothy, because that's what the blurb indicated. But there's some serious heft at the core of "Texas Loves Lyla," and, joyfully, it does not come with a sledgehammer. I was not expecting this. The delightful and corny bits support the rest, in no small part due to Jeffrey's hilarious, warm and vivid presentation. We ... full review
