Be sure to check out our Full List of Fringe Reviews Al Lafrance: I Think I’m Dead (A+) A solo performance that floored me by its close, I suppose this is the gem of my 2018 Fringe experience. The show blazes through the history of Lafrance’s life covering everything from childhood trauma to hilarious vacation […]
Before we announce the winners of the 2017 MyEntWorld Critics’ Pick Awards, we’re proud to present our annual Nominee Interview Series. Sense8 is a really fascinating show. It simultaneously pushes boundaries while also feeling long overdue. It boldly addresses a huge array of topics like sexuality, gender, race, politics, human nature, and a whole lot more.
