POCKETS

erik blair · June 29, 2019 certified reviewer
As always, the group at Robot Teammate shines with a new musical that is both inspired and goofy. If there is ONE production company that I can count on to put together something I will love as a comedy/musical, this is the team. Pockets continues that grand tradition.... full review

Olivia Wilde Does Not Survive the Apocalypse

erik blair · June 23, 2019 certified reviewer
An engaging post-apocalyptic tale that overall works well. A different sort of experience from Matt Robinson that takes the audience on a strange, different sort of ride to a great destination. Even if it has a few bumps along the way.... full review

Butcher Holler Here We Come!

erik blair · June 23, 2019 certified reviewer
This is hands down one of the best things I've seen at Fringe this year. Different, compelling, beautiful in its design and execution. I was literally blown away by the experience and I've told everyone I know to see it before it's gone.... full review

Bat Knight!

erik blair · June 23, 2019 certified reviewer
This was like an episode of the 1960's Batman TV show if it was created for the Carol Burnett show or SNL. Goofy, strange, occasionally bizarre and always funny. It's filled with a great cast that leaps at their attempts to spoof Batman and his villains with joy and humor. An exceptionally good time.... full review

Four Clowns Presents: Shakedown at the Dusty Spur!

erik blair · June 23, 2019 certified reviewer
There is something incredibly joyful about a well-presented melodrama and this show is -exactly- that. A lot of fun from beginning to end, Four Clowns has returned with a show that has just enough fun for kids and just enough adult-humor to feel a 'little bit' dirty. It's a nice combination that's well acted and just a good ole' time.... full review

The Same Room

erik blair · June 23, 2019 certified reviewer
A smart, physically sharp and exceptionally performed story. Everything about this show kept me on the edge of my seat with compelling acting and writing that covered an impressive sliver of a broken relationship. One of the smartest shows I've seen at Fringe this year.... full review

Rock Band Murder Mystery

erik blair · June 23, 2019 certified reviewer
A somewhat interesting idea that was largely flawed in its execution. The 'mystery' wasn't much of one because of how clues were presented and the 'rock band' part was not as much fun as one would have hoped.... full review

The Last PowerPoint

erik blair · June 23, 2019 certified reviewer
A truly amusing idea that was, for the most part, very well executed. While I have a small quibble with one consistent choice made throughout the show, in general I found it be a neat and fun concept that had surprising depth hidden below its 'failed' presentation.... full review

2 for 1

erik blair · June 23, 2019 certified reviewer
These are two great women who have put together very different but equally compelling experiences. I'm very glad to see that they're getting some recognition because they definitely deserve it. This production connects two very different ideas into a sharp, exceptional hour of theatre that everyone should go see immediately.... full review

REVENGE OF THE ROOTBEER: The Sequel To Night Of The Rootbeer

erik blair · June 13, 2019 certified reviewer
This play must be destroyed. No copy of it can be allowed to remain. Those who performed in the preview must be washed clean of their sins, at whatever cost to the rest of our morality. The theatre must be burned to the ground, its ashes spread to the far ends of the world, and no mention of this play must ever be made again. I will be picketing outside its front doors after I see it again.... full review
