Have you ever actually attended a local town hall meeting? Most people never have – but I have, and in more than one location. And to my utter surprise, every time I’ve ever done so, the meeting has been full of two types of people: those who are overly enthusiastic about some specific agenda and […]
The Hollywood Fringe Festival is a place where veteran performers and creators can stretch their wings and try things outside their comfort zones. It is also a place where newcomers can dip their toes into the enormously deep pool that is the Los Angeles theater scene. Some shows rise above the rest, while others fall […]
This year’s Hollywood Fringe Festival has seen several immersive productions that allow at least a passing comparison to more traditional LARP (Live Action Role-Play) events. Out of all of them, Ascend has the closest connection to that style of experience. In the process, it creates one of the most enjoyable family-friendly productions that I’ve seen […]
As someone who has a strong background in Live Action Role Play (LARP) experiences, I love trying them out whenever I get the chance. So when Aaron Vanek announced that his entry for this year’s Fringe would be an ’80s-themed rock band story with a murder, I was happy to join in the festivities. Rock […]
Bob. Middle-aged, trying-too-hard-to-make-a-good-impression Bob. He wanders through darkened corridors, his only company a flickering flashlight to guide the way and the fear of impending doom breathing down his neck.

This one-man performance is the first time the Hollywood Fringe Festival has been privileged […]
Choosing to go to a one-person show at the Hollywood Fringe Festival can be a game of chance. Sometimes you see a theatrical experience that is extraordinary; sometimes the experience is far more mundane. But what you do normally see is a production that focuses, in one way or another, on the life of the […]
No shirt, no pants, no shoes; not a problem! With the collective effort of three naturist associations… behind… them, naturists are back at the Hollywood Fringe Festival 2019 with Disrobed! The Start The Studio/Stage theater, Fringe stop number 9, is an unassuming place that’s facilitating the spectacularly avant garde; nearly fifty entirely nude […]
Whether it’s due to anger, fear or simple annoyance with the shape of modern society, the idea of leaving Earth to colonize the moon or Mars has become a popular one of late. Yet, while it’s the idea of escaping the people of this world that’s likely making the idea of starting over on a […]
A woman screams in the blackness, what transpired hidden from sight, our imaginations taking over. The lights brighten. The chorus of black cats, reminiscent of Fosse dancers mixed with Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats, slinks back to their chairs, their predatory instincts now sated. Angel, the titular Hell’s Kitty, cleans the red ribbon of blood from […]
