Company: Lethan Candlish
Show: Who Am I, Again?
Venue: Mixed Blood
Vulnerable, disarming and beautiful
I was intrigued by the premise of this show, how do you tell a story (your story) about traumatic brain injury (TMI), by yourself. Hard and challenging topic to put on a stage. Lethan's story, as he tells us at some point, is not unique, but the way he tells it, jumping through time, weaving in other people's experiences with TMI, reflecting now as an adult on his younger self. He is so honest, courageous, vulnerable, charming, and precise, that you can't help but to marvel at the tale, the performance, and life, how fragile it is, and at the second chances we are given. Lethan, thank you for sharing your story with us, thank you for being brave.

Show: LATIN PAPI
Venue: Rarig Nolte Xperimental Theatre
What a ride!
Yes, they are sexy. Yes, they can dance. Yes, they flirt and tease. Yes, they are two Latin Papis. What I didn't expect was for them, right at the end of their relentlessly beautiful performance, to take my breath away and leave me in tears as they fall into each other's arms and crumble under the crushing weight of their gathered costume pieces. It was an amazing experience. Thank you both for taking risks, for being vulnerable, and for sharing your talent with us.

Come for the (in)sanity jokes, stay for the love
I'm very glad I rushed to see Ben's show on opening night. I was expecting clever joke after clever joke about the crazy times we're living through, and I got plenty of those, but then, gradually as we laughed about things and people that make us mad and how we are hanging by a thread, Ben cracked open a door to his and our hearts, and what makes us human and how we are in this together. Thank you for the heartwarming reminder.
