An amazing look into the mind of mental illness. Silent Joy deals with themes in a kind, and thoughtful way, keeping real to both the original material and the pulls from a classic work. It left me in tears, and aware of both myself and everyone I love. ...

What a great show - a well-crafted story, honest script, great acting, sensitive direction. It's a simple story with incredibly deep stakes and emotion, a slice of real drama that should hit home for everyone who has ever had a true love and made the decision to leave it....

If you had told me five years ago I would willingly pay money to watch grown men swap spit with one another, I’d yell at my future self just what went wrong with my life. But my time spent with the human fountains was no mistake. Glistening with the allure of a Vegas nightclub act and bristling with the humor of the boys of Jackass, Human Fountains deliver a wonderfully inventive, frequently hilarious, and ocassionally jaw-dropping performance that will make you scream H2oh-yeah!...

Excellent. There are quite few elements at play here and all of them combine seamlessly into a show that is hard to describe without spoiling the surprises in store. Needless to say the performances were delightful, the story well-developed without feeling bloated, and the technical (and other) elements were an unexpected treat!
*Quick Clarification* I have never read any of the Little Women books. This is important both because it didn't prevent me from thoroughly enjoying this productio...

This show was such a blast! It was full of a bunch of laughs and a bunch of heart. It's definitely geared more toward Pokemon fans (with plenty of references to the series, the games, and even online fan theories), but I think anyone that sees it will get a kick out of it. The cast is hilarious, the songs are a little too catchy (Bug Catcher Brian will be stuck in your head for quite a while) (not a bad thing) (so will Triple Threat) (again, not a bad thing), the choreography was fun, the script ...

certified reviewer
“In Conclusion:”, which reopens the most notorious murder case from Prohibition-era Chicago, is a brilliant exploration of a human rights issue that has divided America for two hundred years: capital punishment. Written, staged and performed with exceptional insight and artistry, realism and dark comedy, the play probes the inner struggles of the main players in the case: the twisted, tormented minds of the two murderers, and the equally tormented, idealistic minds of the opposing attorneys. With...
