THE BULLY PROBLEM

grace jasmine · June 28, 2019 certified reviewer
So much fun. Fast-paced and uplifting. I really enjoyed the entire cast. Memorable, funny, and charming performances. Superb lyrics from Mr. Shapiro (also, loved the book and music!). Michael Shapiro blends amazing wit, robot-level genius, (see how I did that?) and perfect rhyme and scansion. As a lyricist myself I have HUGE respect for his abilities!... full review

TRASH

I love the topic that were bravely explored. This is a young writer with amazing passion. I can't wait to see what she will bring to the world in the future. I applaud her fearlessness and can't wait to see what is next for her!... full review

The Last PowerPoint

grace jasmine · June 25, 2019 certified reviewer
Still waters run deep in this wacky, brilliant, charming, funny-as-hell solo show. This artist may fool you with his affable smile, his boyish good looks, his rhythmic and ridiculous dance moves, and that mop of amazing copper penny hair. What you need to know about the last PowerPoint is that the guy who brings us the ridiculous is actually informing us about some deeply thought-out constructs about the corporate jungle. ... full review

DROUGHT

Kate Radford is a revelation. Her one-woman show is emotional, gorgeous, specific, lyrical and intense. She blends intelligent prose and rhyme with a fabulous and deeply melodious use of voice. It was hypnotic and really almost mystical. I highly recommend this show. ... full review

The Flower Society

grace jasmine · June 23, 2019 certified reviewer
This play bravely takes on a VERY important subject that is being totally ignored. I applaud this creative team for bringing this play to the Fringe. One has only to drive a street away from the venue to see this play in reality everyday. I think theatre at its best tackles the important subjects of the day. Kudos to The Flower Society!... full review

Crack Whore, Bulimic, Girl-Next-Door

grace jasmine · June 21, 2019 certified reviewer
Real, intense, comic, heart-wrenching and brave as hell. Marnie Olson cracks open her psyche and lets us inside. Relatable and courageous, this is one writer I want to know. Olson and director, Jennifer Chun are amazing humans and this work shows us that they are woke and paying attention--and not afraid to go for it creatively. ... full review

Jamba Juice: The Musical

grace jasmine · June 18, 2019 certified reviewer
This is a clever and fun show. Sweet and fun songs, some big laughs, and a cute cast with high energy. Spencer Frankeberger is a talented and clever writer and performer. Frankeberger and his two partners have really hit on a fun idea with a lot of potential. I hope this trio continues to work together on other musicals in the future. ... full review

My Trans Wife

grace jasmine · June 17, 2019 certified reviewer
A true-to-life story of a true love between two souls--no matter their physical manifestation. I was entranced with this story. More spoken word, or creative nonfiction memoir than a play, these two women take you deeply inside their lives and their beautiful and supportive love. I left the theatre thinking LOVE IS LOVE--and isn't it always a miracle. I am SO happy I saw this!... full review

MONKEY MIND

grace jasmine · June 17, 2019 certified reviewer
Monkey Mind reminds us to live in the NOW--and what power and happiness and calmness that decision means. Weiss delivers a personal philosophy that has been her mantra in a spirit-driven musical in an imaginative and engaging way. It brought to mind a sort of a modern Alice in Wonderland of the psyche!... full review
