Michael Shapiro's musical is delightful and energetic. The cast is invigorated by Joanna Syiek's precise and inventive direction and choreography. Jennifer Lin's musical direction makes the wonderful score shine. There are many fantastic performances delivered by the cast, none more so than the work of Allie Costa and Jordan Mitchell-Love. Costa soars as both the adorkable love interest as well as the moral center of the show. Mitchell-Love gentle positivity and subtle humor as the artificial lif... full review

Review from Haunting.net Outer space has always been a somewhat difficult concept for me. Even the word itself—space—implies a vast, incomprehensible emptiness. This year’s Hollywood Fringe Festival brings us The Pod, the brainchild of creators Nick Rheinwald-Jones (SpyBrunch) and Katelyn Schiller (Lucid DramaticsLucid Dramatics,) and a euphoric love letter to that unknowable plane. Macora Aerospace and Robotics International has tapped me to be the next candidate for their colonization p... full review

Harvey and Elitzer skillfully weave true science fiction adventure with a journey of personal discovery, never forgetting to make us laugh and think along the way. Harvey’s energetic and impassioned performance sucks you in like a black hole as he leaps from character to character, between time and space, while Elitzer’s direction grounds us is in the compelling and relatable narrative of a person searching for their place in the universe. I highly recommend it.... full review

A tightly written, hauntingly truthful psychological thriller about learning to speak the truth with love. ... full review

A crowd-pleasing send-up of a solo show and all of the ego, conflict, and catharsis that it entails. ... full review

Smart, playful, provocative, and timely. Really loved this production. The cast is fantastic in bringing a slice of the life of Lee Atwater to the stage. I hate the guy in real life, but this show brings you to the magnetic energy that made his amoral political strategies so effective. ... full review

Great blend of sketch comedy, stand-up, and music performed by a talented mix of actors, speaking to our cultural moment while staying delightfully silly. ... full review

I must admit I laughed very hard throughout, even though I was not the target audience. (Too old and not an actor). But the performers came across as very likable and comedically seasoned beyond their actual years. ... full review

A high energy extremely silly and fun superhero parody for all ages! A musical love letter to the awesomeness and absurdity of the Batman universe done with panache, irreverent humor, and a few humorous insider nods to the fringe fest itself.... full review

Original and thought-provoking premises; excellent acting; needs polish.... full review

A wonderful balance of funny, absurd, and sad.... full review

Rosie Glen-Lambert is one of the best directors that the Hollywood Fringe has seen in years. Rosie is a fearless director and highly capable, bringing excellent performances from the actors, playing all the comic moments, and working the company around a highly elaborate set that is rare to see in a fringe production - especially one that has to be set up in 15 minutes. The action is well-timed and there isn’t a dull moment in the play. The Last Croissant is a must-see, so get your tickets now b... full review

This was such an honest and real show with such a wonderful premise. It's refreshing to see a straight white male tell his perspective while recognizing his place in the world. It's how every woman wishes white men would behave and translate their comedy and emotions. It was wonderful!... full review

Fantastic writing, a talented ensemble, and a fascinating subject combine to make this a great show. This one will stick with you for a while. ... full review

I hated every moment of this show. It was painful, embarrassing, and drawn out. And everyone should see it. Especially if you have ever worked with a stage manager. ... full review

Strong acting from strong women make for great story telling. Overall, a revealing look into the lives of two women who were going for what they wanted, using what assets they had. ... full review
