CHRISTINE DEITNER certified reviewer June 16, 2019
This was a delightful experience, from pre-show to the final moment. The set is beautiful, the performances are strong, the comedy keeps on coming folks and there are some surprisingly moving moments. Who knew a bear could be so eloquent? Or a tea bag for that matter? If you want to know more about what I'm talking about, run, don't walk, and get yourself a ticket.... full review

Wonderful entertainment. The Attic Collective LA entertained the audience on the sidewalk before we walked into the theater. The entertainment continued inside the studio with song before the play began. Set design, costume, music, polished acting and a sense of real friendship between the actors was very evident and made the experience very believable for the audience. The Director, Rosie ... well ... she's a theatrical genius! ... full review
MITCHELL GLASER certified reviewer June 16, 2019
A hilarious and thought-provoking romp, gorgeously staged and deliciously acted. Fans of magical realism will be especially satisfied as well as mystified. Nothing is explained or accomplished in almost Brechtian fashion, which is as refreshing as drinking hot water with a slice of lemon after a heavy meal. After the laughter is done, you are left with so many questions...... full review

Absurdist, patchwork comedy with loads and loads of heart. A pastiche of theatrical tropes bouncing off each other in unexpected and hilarious ways. Resolves warmly -- touching and introspective. Also design was *tight* for a fringe show that has to load out in 15 minutes! This kind of observed nuance is rare in a fringe show -- highly recommended.... full review

An beautifully established farce brought about by a vibrant cast of characters that will not let you alone for two minutes. You will be on the edge of your seat the entire time! This is a show that is definitely worth every dollar spent at the box office. The passion, sweat and efforts put into the each month of rehearsals clearly shows itself onstage in full view. The Attic Collective definitely lives up to its mission statement: "We create theatre for everyone." ... full review

The Last Croissant was a His Girl Friday meets Midsummer Night's Dream meets Charley's Aunt Mash Up. Fast paced dialogue and bizarre but endearing atmosphere makes for a wild ride through the wild. ... full review
MARISA OBRIEN certified reviewer June 19, 2019
I thoroughly enjoyed this show. The performances and direction were outstanding, and the wonderful writing was inventive and thought provoking. I loved the exploration & discovery of self through old relationships and new. Our strengths, weaknesses, flaws, longings, desires, insecurities, fears, bravery, stupidity, honesty and self awareness breakthroughs were all on display, all with a bit of the divine thrown in. Love the way this theatre company works together. It's truly something to behold. Funny as hell, I laughed a LOT. Thanks, Attic!... full review
HARIM SANCHEZ certified reviewer June 19, 2019
The Last Croissant is a dazzling pop-up book of a show that looks like Wes Anderson and sounds like Terry Pratchett. It's an oddball comedy that tenderly revolves around self-acceptance, personal anxieties, and being true to one's self.... full review

I’ve been watching this company since they started and continue to be impressed and delighted by the work they create. This is their BEST SHOW YET!! The joy onstage is infectious. The story is complex but never confusing. The precision of the direction and the cohesion of the ensemble raises the bar. Oh and you’re not going to see a better designed Fringe show. I mean, the beauty of the teabag alone. Yes, it’s ambitious and they pull it off with their signature flair. GO SEE THIS SHOW!!!... full review
