I absolutely loved this! If you’re a fan of true crime you’ll love it!
Cults was awesome! Reba delivered an engaging and informative show that left me equally in shock/horror and belly laughs. The perfect mix of dark and comedy, with a refreshing and highly entertaining delivery by Reba. My partner has never seen live theatre and had no idea what to expect, but was thoroughly entertained as was I!!! Thanks Blair and Reba for a great time <3
Such a fringe-y show! Go see it!
Reba and Blair do a fantastic job with talking about cults you may or may not know about, getting SUPER dark either them and then taking you out of that darkness with some humour.
Just when you feel the subject matter is too dire to bear, Reba gives you a little breather with a song and dance. Be prepared to be informed and entertained. Don’t miss this one.
Went to this one out of curiousity. I do love reading about cults and other odd belief systems, so this was pretty engaging for me. I like how the performer discussed some cults I’d never actually heard of before, and I found her quirky and funny, and the show moved at a good pace despite the density of the information.
I thoroughly enjoyed this show! While dark subject matter, they made us laugh, provided fascinating facts and had a great playlist! The flavour-aid was a nice touch and I learned something new!
Amazing show! Agreed with all equal parts hilarious and was taught horrified facts! It was such such a good show! Happy I went amazing performances!
I am so glad that I got to be at world premiere of this show. Reba has such great energy and is very captivating.
It was also so great to see Blair on stage as well!
I hope I get to catch the show again soon!
I see others complaints about reading off the script and I can see what they’re saying. Over all it was a good experience, interesting information about the cults and how they each controlled the members. The only thing I would warn people about (and I wasn’t expecting it, I am not sure if it was mentioned and I straight up missed it. I’d have still gone anyways.) but there are some graphic details mentioned, that may bother some people.
This show was not ready for showtime. The performer did nothing but read off a script the whole time. A glance at notes here and there would be understandable, especially since it was a good show, but it’s dry to essentially just hear someone read an essay.
I think there’s a good show in here. I enjoyed the performer but I feel there could have been more storyline and connection to various pieces that were introduced in the piece.
Fascinating that subject matter this dark can provide so many belly laughs, while juxtaposed with dread, anger, and a feeling that you are peeking down a dark alley seeing things we all wish would stay hidden. Some of the stories are horrific, and yet the gifted performer and storyteller can bring laughs where you don’t expect, and the next moment she can make your skin crawl. It’s one helluva sermon from well-written and so very well-told true tale. Not to be missed, not to be forgotten.
Comical and yet serious. I felt like a member, flavour-aid wasn’t half bad.
Interesting and thoroughly enjoyable. I laughed and was horrified in equal measure. It was the actor’s first public performance of this show, and unfortunately she didn’t have her (many, many detailed) lines completely memorized, but she made it work. I suspect this will get better with each performance.
