Absurd humor at its finest. There's nothing I can say about this show that hasn't already been said. They deserve it all. Bravo. ... full review

I Could've Been Dancing: A Magical Evening of Song & Laughs

gregory crafts · June 30, 2013 certified reviewer
Ben and Sarah are incredibly talented, and this production shows off that talent in spades! The singing was strong, the character work even stronger. However, what really won me over was the absolute, unshakeable commitment they gave to their roles and the show itself. WOW. Bravo. I want more. ... full review

Daddy

I enjoyed this show. I think it has a lot of potential and I'm glad to know it's getting developed further beyond the festival. On the plus side, the show was carried on the backs of strong performances. On the minus side, the transitions hurt the momentum of the show itself. However, I think this was an excellent effort all around, and I'm excited to see what this team brings to the festival next year!... full review

KILL A BETTER MOUSETRAP

gregory crafts · June 30, 2013 certified reviewer
This was a fun show. I'm glad I caught it. Scott K. Ratner is spot-on as the loveable loser holding the movie rights to the Agatha Christie classic. The script itself is clever and full of little homages to Dame Agatha and her work, and the layered story unfolds perfectly. My only gripe is the end note - I wish there was something more definitive there. But still, well done. ... full review

Gracie and Rose

This beautiful one-woman show kept me riveted to my seat from the moment it started through the final exit. A great script, a powerful performance rooted in strong character work, and visceral imagery merge into a tour de force production that exemplifies what one-person theatre should be. Bonus, this show featured strong production value for Fringe, showing that "simple" doesn't have to mean stripped down to nothing. Thank you to Cindy Marie Jenkins for recommending this show to me.... full review

The Pokemusical

gregory crafts · June 11, 2013 certified reviewer
The Pokemusical - Gotta catch it at least once. I was in high school when the Pokemon craze hit, so I didn't know much about the phenomenon besides the fact that it existed. At first, I was a little concerned about whether or not I'd "get" the show. Those fears were alleviated the minute the lights went down and the music started. "The Pokemusical" is a riotous musical parody that lovingly and smartly pokes fun at the source material the same way "The Spidey Project" sends up "Spider-Man: ... full review

The Real Housekeepers of Studio City

gregory crafts · June 11, 2013 certified reviewer
I will never look at Lurch and Rosie the Robot the same way ever again. The Real Housekeepers of Studio City is laugh-out-loud funny. An incredibly talented cast brings some of TV land's most beloved characters (and tropes) to the stage in this hour long musical that's not to be missed. ... full review

The Third Date

I think we've all had evenings exactly like "The Third Date," and that's part of why I enjoyed it so much. The script (delivered with spot-on comic sense by a solid cast) captures perfectly the awkwardness of the "getting to know you" process that is dating. This show is light, fluffy (in a good way) and earnest. At 40 minutes, it's also an easy fit for anyone's crowded Fringe schedule and certainly worth checking out. ... full review
