What a wonderful show! Jennie Fahn is a powerhouse on stage. As the first show to open Hollywood Fringe '17 for me, Under The Jello Mold could not have been more perfect. Jennie pulled me into her world with her mother and I was enthralled. What sort of person leaves post-mortem instructions "under the Jello mold"?
Masterfully directed by Tom Cavenaugh, Jennie tells her story with flair, highly entertaining characterizations, so much humor, depth of emotion and even song and dance. And surprises! I both laughed so hard and was so deeply moved!
Captivating, hilarious and poignant! A must-see show. Go see it....

Upon later reflection, I'm even more impressed with the masterful storytelling-- what feels like a very natural, organic unraveling of perhaps unrelated anecdotes later reveals a deeper purpose for each within a gre...

This was such a fun, inspiring show. Jennie Fahn takes us on the journey of growing up as the daughter of Joyce, an over-the-top Jewish mother obsessed with looking her best and men with black hair. Heart-felt and honest, Jennie shares the good, the bad, the ugly, and most of all, the funny....
