Quirky, hilarious, often absurd comedy creates a rowdy good time! This is the kind of show you see and just laugh and laugh because every segment just gets crazier and crazier in all the right ways and by the time you are done you are exhausted from laughing so much....

Taking a premise that could have been fumbled in the wrong hands and making it into an exceptional and poignant show that will challenge the audience to reconsider the power of political nostalgia and what it truly means to be a good fit for leadership. The show is as funny and clever as it is thoughtful. Just when you think you know where it's going there is a quick and sharp turn that leads to more delightful insight and comedy.
The cast does a great job I enjoyed all the characters and fel...

A fast-paced and cute musical with a little bit of something for everyone! The cast and crew here really seems to be having fun with the concept and the songs are genuinely clever and fit the world so well. Spencer Frankeberger, Nick Wuthrich, Katie Dembesky, Zoe Farmingdale and Roe Moore work well together to blend a delicious concoction! (get it?) ...

A heartwarming show stacked with wonderful characters and performances. Funny, effortlessly charming and touching without being manipulative it is well staged and well composed considering such a large cast of characters that could have quickly become confusing. But Amanda Lloyd keeps everything moving and utilizes the limited space with purpose and creativity to create a breezy and easy to follow experience. In the end it becomes the feel-good play of the Fringe!...

A fantastically made show that plays like the top tier caliber of an original "Twilight Zone" episode. Often funny but never losing it's satirical wit, and delivering a poignant message without being too heavy handed or silly. This is some of the very best that Fringe has to offer!...

I really wanted a nice cold root beer after this show. And it was fun to see actors going to town like this, playing off one another in a zany out of this world script in such a manner I felt like I was briefly on another plane of existence. A dimension between time, space, soft drink refreshment and theatrical abstraction that was abstrusely compelling. The Kandinsky of Fringe shows....

In a mix of the Princess Bride meets The Neverending Story set to a My Chemical Romance album this often funny and yet often heartbreaking story is told with great care and attention by Drew Petriello, Brandon Karsh and Adam Cash. You will find yourself cackling with laughter and also holding your breath at some tense exchanges. It's the kind of story and setting that can work well beyond the Fringe as it touches on so many feelings, trends, thoughts and philosophies of the audience. It is a hear...
