I'm a huge fan of this show. These two.... well, there were only two when I saw it.... These two performers are top notch physical and lingual comedians. I'm proud of myself for understanding about 70% of what they Shakespearingly said, but it didn't matter, I absorbed it all - and laughed out loud straight through for an hour. Definitely one of my favorites so far this year!!...

Son of a Bitch is such a smart show with a high quality production. Every actor gave 110% and fully immersed you in the show. The costumes were fantastic, and there was a great use of video projection to enhance the set. All-around amazing production and definitely worth the ticket. ...

Dagmar Stanaova's "Loose Underwear" left tear-streaked marks of her genius as I settled into its emotional impact of raw honesty, smart humor and the personal reckoning with her past, that is all of ours, through the lens of her mother's experience as a Holocaust survivor. In short, I was awakened and moved. Told with grace, wit and the kind of connection that can only come from the truth of who she is sparked a universal truth of knowing: We all come from a lineage of ghosts, cellular memories...

Take me out to the ballgame, but only if I can go with Brett Moore. The breadth of his knowledge about the game is astonishing, but his passion for the game is even greater. There are games and prizes, but the best part is Brett's enjoyment in taking you along for an epic ride in his baseball addled brain ...

This show was a blast, with a ton of energy from start to finish and some of the most impressive and difficult fight choreography that I've ever seen in a Fringe show. Travis Dixson delivers as he always does with unrelenting energy, charisma and talent, while Joanna Mercedes manages an amazing balance of deeply felt emotional moments with super heroic bravado that manages to be both appropriately melodramatic and entirely real in the feelings evoked. This isn't a hard show to recommend. Exactly ...

A smart ensemble of talented young actors bring their focus to love in the social media age. Presented in a series of scenes, the show cycles through the trials of young people finding their way in the world. The cast was top notch, with delightful subtle and nuanced performances, none better than the outstanding Ali Pinkerton. But their were no weak links. The strength of the this piece is the well-directed acting company....

A surreal exploration of human pathos- what makes us move and why. The woman- Alyssa Virker, I believe- communicates through wild movement and lightning flashes of character, maintaining a quick tempo throughout.
The second play, with Angela Beevers, maintained the rapid fire, and was a supremely satisfying next act. She explored the darkness with a steady eye, and she found gold in unlikely places....

Marla tells a moving story with a few unexpected twists and a lot of humor + heart. She's got a lot of great visual aids too - photos, hand drawn caricatures, stuffed animals - to help carry her tale. I don't know much about the world of dog sledding, so it was cool to learn a thing or two - Marla did a good job of weaving interesting facts seamlessly into her performance. ...

This is an epic theatre piece presented with full pageantry. I love the commitment to bring a massive theatre classic to the Fringe. Though long for a Fringe show, the company does a masterful job of combining two epic Marlowe works into 105 minutes. The cast delivers grand, stylized performances, none better than Matt Harding in the lead role. This show has great acting, humorous special effects, and terrific hand to hand combat....

Good dramas leave an audience with questions to discuss on the car ride home. This play did that. The performances — under the direction of John Coppola (FB) — came across as realistic, and the leads had a chemistry that made you believe in the relationship....
