The Third Date

If you've been dating in Los Angeles...this is the show for you. It captures all the awkwardness and fun of being single in the modern world (including internet stalking jokes). It'll definitely make you laugh and, if you're like me, you'll leave feeling like you're not alone.... full review

Very funny, fun and enjoyable piece. Loved the cast, and the writing captured parts of our dating culture in a cute, smart and quirky way that was ultimately uplifting and entertaining for the audience. ... full review

SO FUN! Really enjoyed the writing and performances. Felt a lot like my dating life, and at times lines that came from the male lead were identical to things that I embarrassingly have said. Can't wait to see what this group does next!... full review

There was the all-too familiar setting of an awkward romantic encounter, the sitcom style living room set up and I thought to myself, cool, this will be a short and sweet evening of light entertainment.

Third Date was hilarious! This was my first Fringe show, and I loved it! It's a play that everyone can relate to in one way or another. It wasn't trying too hard or overdone.

Doug Hannah is clearly a talented director, and Rebecca Mader was particularly hilarious as the ex-girlfriend. I highly recommend seeing this show.... full review

This play was very forgettable. I have no reason to hate it, but I also have no reason to love it. It was like one of those pre-wrapped sandwiches you buy at the airport terminal. It gets the job done, but doesn't leave me satisfied or wanting more.... full review

Congrats to the whole team. Job well done. Pete Cilella was down to earth and solid in his performance. hilarious, touching, and awkward in that 3rd date kind of way. ... full review

Saw this last week. I understood and related to the awkward date completely. I was thoroughly entertained and had a good laugh. It was also fun being a part of an audience that was having a great time as well. Well done!... full review
