RANDI KEITH uncertified reviewer June 21, 2013
I am so glad I drove my grandma and myself the 6 hours to come see the show. We thoroughly enjoyed our selves. I like the fact that they brought me thru all the emotions with them. A good show is one that makes you happy, sad and even uncomfortable. This one did it for me and my Grams. Can't wait to see what's next.... full review
CARMICHAEL DANE uncertified reviewer June 25, 2013
I loved this trio of original short plays. I found them to be nicely staged, well-acted, and a welcome deviation from the norm. I was really taken by the twist in the first show, I didn't see it coming. The second show was down right hilarious!. I know that others have written that they didn't care for the 3rd piece, but it was my favorite. Perhaps it is because I grew up in Middle America and once felt very much like the husband. Or because I attended church with the wife (I swear I know people just like her). Regardless, the third piece is the one I keep telling people about. I wish you were still running so that I could bring my friends to see it.... full review

The first two scenes were decent and entertaining. But, holy crap the third one was awful! The whole show started off with wonderful acting and a very interesting premise. There was no way you could have expected the first scene to go where it went. The second is a pretty standard on-the-brink relationship scene, but the dead-pan of the female in a very awkward situation definitely sold it. Then came the last scene. There's satire, and then there's beating you over the head. When the joke is delivered within the first 20 seconds of a scene, why make it again, and again, and again, and again, and again....so on and so forth. There was literally nothing clever about this last scene. It ruined the entire show. The sum of it is, "Gues... full review

had an hour to kill before a show at the complex and this one was "pay what you can". i knew nothin about the show when i walked in to find a roller coaster car on stage- super cool. the guy was really funny when he threw up his hands and hollered and the girl looked super scared. i'm kind of scared of roller coasters too, so i understood where she was coming from, or so i thought. what a neat and unexpected idea. i really enjoyed that play. the 2nd play was about a couple on a park bench in the dead of winter. i thought that the beginning was a bit slow but they had me rollin by the middle. such a funny situation well sold through expression. i loved the part when he was feeling her jacket. the third play reminded me of an ol... full review

An interesting beginning to my Fringe day. Three stories about three very difficult subjects, told with razor sharp wit and flawless acting. Welcome to the Fringe, 3 of a Kind!... full review

I got to experience this delightful night of theatre, three short very cleverly written plays presented by some very talented actors with strong acting skills and great comedic timing. Thank you 3 of a Kind! ... full review
GRAHAM BOWLIN certified reviewer June 21, 2013
As anyone who enjoys it knows, dark comedy is hard. Really hard. That's why it's so nice to see a show like Awkward Pauses. They get it, and they pull it off quite well. In fact, over the breezy 45 minutes (or so) running time of these three one acts, I had a great time. The reason I clicked "liked it" is only because I found the content selection to be a little uneven. Maybe it's because the first two were so sharp, smart, and funny that the bar was just too high, but the third and final piece just didn't do it for me. It didn't feel like it belonged in the same show as the other two, and it pulled me out for the last 15 minutes I spent with the show. Still, no matter what piece, the actors always committed completely, the set design ... full review

I always enjoy the productions put on by 3 of a Kind, and this one was no exception. "Awkward Pauses" was sharp, funny, insightful and a great addition to the Hollywood Fringe lineup. Kudos to everyone involved!... full review
