Company: Destiny Davison
Show: DOLLY WHO?'S HOLIDAY HORROR SHOW

Endearingly weird

The humor of this show definitely isn't for everyone but if you like your Halloween variety shows more sweet than spooky you'll find a lot to like here. Plus the art is great!

Company: Comfort Zone
Show: Comfort Zone Presents: CHEMISTRY

Positively charming

The two leads play so well together. Highlight was when they reinacted pac man and used the aisles to simulate going from one side of the maze to the other. Highly recommended if you're looking for a good fun time.

Company: Pat O'Brien
Show: Our Zombie Town
Venue: Mixed Blood

Cozy

A charming and funny cast makes this the comfiest zombie apocalypse ever.

Company: Paper Soul
Show: Boxcutter Harmonica
Venue: Barbara Barker Center for Dance

Twisty turny existentialism.

I'll be thinking about this one for a while. The script took a lot of detours that dovetailed at the end beautifully.

A riot from start to finish

Loved this silly show. It kept finding new ways to make the audience laugh. The artist behind the show has been performing this for a while and the hard work shows in the precision of their performance. Hope they continue performing this piece for a long time to come.

Great energy for a late night show.

This show was hilarious! We saw it at 10:00 PM but the energy level from the cast was full of vigor. If you like the humor of Tim Robinson and surprisingly sad metaphors about how fragile human connection can be then this is the show to see!

Show: Apsara, The Musical

Doing a lot with a little

This show was a little different from what I expected, but I was surprised in a good way! The use of actors doubling was very well done and I enjoyed how the cast and crew were able to tell a story with epic sweep in such an intimate venue. Hope to see more from this team someday.

Venue: Rarig Stoll Thrust Theatre

Effortlessly beautiful

The director in her curtain speech said that they had some technical difficulties with their projections, but I was hard pressed to find a note out of place in this show. It draws out emotions with the ease of a brush stroke and goes beyond words to create a theatrical experience that is inspiring and human in it's unapologetic theatricality. It's so packed full of meaning and intention that it makes a very compelling case for repeat viewings. Loved it.

Stylish and engrossing.

Always engaging and surprising. This show does a great job of taking the audience to a vulnerable place yet always keeping them in safe hands. A very moving production overall.
