What I liked

The gave away free tickets to Laemmle Theatres, with which I (almost) recouped my ticket cost! Otherwise—-Nothing!

What I didn't like

Everything—-but why bother?

My overall impression

Welcome to a Big (8000 sq’!), Clean, New 2nd-floor collection of Performance Spaces @ Western & Santa Monica! Alas, ALL of its Fringe productions are Poor Prospects, a Bummer for a New-to-Fringe Venue! THIS show wins the WANE Award: “Worst Amateur Night Ever”, at least in MY 5 years of festing! NOT a recreation of Old Time Radio and NOT a satire of it either. The Only Real Mystery is what these talent-free people THINK they’re doing! There’s a sound-effects table—-but no efx! There’s a keyboard—-but (almost) no music! And the three-person cast frequently runs around the audience in dim-to-dark lighting! Were they directed to do so—-by anyone? Will YOU care? I certainly didn’t!
