The It Girl

catherine curtis · June 26, 2017 certified reviewer
I feel it necessary to do the full theatrical experience at Fringe, including the sort of thing I don't expect to like. This one was a gift. At first blush, an entire show done in interpretive dance seemed daunting but turned out to be a delightful surprise.... full review

Easy Targets

After several weeks of intensive theatrical experiences, this is the perfect catharsis. Take out all your passive aggressions on those hackneyed, egocentric, overdone tics and build muscle at the same time!... full review

A thoroughly enjoyable and comprehensible exploration of the subatomic. Very engaging with excellent use of props and visuals to render the complexities of quantum structures at least within one's grasp. "Come! all ye, and learn the secret that hath not yet been revealed. I, Hadit, am the complement of Nu, my bride. I am not extended, and Khabs is the name of my House. In the sphere I am everywhere the centre, as she, the circumference, is nowhere found."... full review
