My favourite show of this year's Fringe so far. Witty, intelligent, hilarious satire on our star loving culture and the creative process of theater, with winks to the Fringe festival itself.... full review

Just plain fun! The humor is especially great for people who have lived in LA too long. The cast is ticghtly-knit, and it shows in their performances, and there's jokes for every sensibility--raunchy, punny, dry, sarcastic, everyone. And all of it fits in a well-built sci-fi world. ... full review

Lots of fun! What happens when centuries from now we've started worshipping celebrities like deities? (Or are we doing that already...?)... full review

This was a lot of fun. Very clever. I'm not usually a fan of plays about acting, but I thought this took the trope and really turned it on its head in a fantastic way. ... full review

Fan's of veteran Hollywood Fringe producer, director, and writer Matthew Robinson's passed shows might see this campy farce romp as a departure. Fans of dystopian apocalypse tropes will revel. Fun, in tune with celebrity culture, and occasionally quite silly, the show is a nice romp for the sci-fi nerd in all of us. As with the film "Idiocracy" (2006), the what-if's may sound ridiculous and absurd. But with where we are now in society, in current politics, and in the increasing rise of celebrity culture, you may be laughing a lot less at the absurdity but laughing because–if we don't–we might cry. ... full review

ERIK BLAIR certified reviewer June 23, 2019
An engaging post-apocalyptic tale that overall works well. A different sort of experience from Matt Robinson that takes the audience on a strange, different sort of ride to a great destination. Even if it has a few bumps along the way.... full review
JOHN PATRICK DALY certified reviewer June 24, 2019
I've never wanted to live in a world with a religion to Beyoncé more than after seeing this show. A hilarious script with a great cast, this show asks what the true value of art is, and how civilization commodifies those who make it. ... full review

I knew a Matthew Robinson/Robby Devillez show would be a good bet. This is an inventive and very funny piece skewering the film industry, theater, and in general all us artsy types. It's a sardonic take on the "save the community center" trope set in the post-apocalypse. I laughed very loudly very often. ... full review
ALEX SKINNER certified reviewer June 25, 2019
A great comedic take on Hollywood culture from a dystopian lens. A funny cast that makes the most of an equally funny script.... full review
