The Bearer of Bad News

matthew robinson · June 19, 2022 certified reviewer
A show that will stick with you long after you have left the theater. With incredibly nuanced and powerful performances and a strikingly horrific and captivating story at it's core. Sometimes beautiful, often terrifying but always engaging and challenging. This is a play that dares to dive into the conversation of body autonomy in a way I have never seen before. Finding a delicate balance in a concept that could have easily been considered absurd, but it's confident and it nails it's message with... full review

A Day With My Mother

matthew robinson · June 18, 2022 certified reviewer
Noelle Hall has a bright future ahead of her as a theatre writer and director as structure and the overall tone of the show lend itself to a solid story. However the lack of variance with the tone of story leads into relentless melodrama that can be hard to get invested in. The show is so oppressive to the characters and audience it is hard to be invested as the stakes aren't clear enough and the absolute lack of joy makes it hard for there to be anything to root for. Talent is all over this prod... full review

Anchored by a knockout performance from Charlotte Munson and tailor made to the incredible music from Richard Munson this is one of the best solo shows I've seen in the seven Fringe Festivals I've been a part of! Scott Golden has an absolute gem on his hands. Charlotte is giving us a show stopping Broadway show with a cast of seven, but she's doing it solo! This is mastery at work and one of the must-see shows of this year's festival!... full review

Reconsider Me

matthew robinson · June 18, 2022 certified reviewer
Well structured, acted and executed theatre. A stellar cast with a story that wisely pushes into it's conflicts at every turn. A story that never lets it's characters get off easy and relishes in that fact. With performers game to show the humanity and flaws of their characters allowing them to be fully realized in a brisk period of time. Rich with meaning and thoughtful conversations it is a play that deserves every ounce of it's accolades. ... full review

Shubop-Dubay-Had: The No Matter Watt PreQuel

matthew robinson · June 09, 2022 certified reviewer
An earnest and genuine show with a lot of energy and talent on display. A touching and personal story made for everyone to enjoy and take in. The cast of talented singers and dancers truly shine and I am still impressed with how with such little space they were able to pull off such complex and vibrant choreography. A play that deals with the hardships of life and addiction yet still is so charming and hopeful!... full review
