The Fisherman’s Wife

alon dina · June 23, 2026 certified reviewer
A play that follows a relationship of unmet needs, and the lengths of fantasy that it can reach. A farce with hilarious twists. It was their last show, and sold out; I'm hoping to see it return! I can describe this show as sexually hilarious, using physical humor for maximum comedic moments. Really great technical features as well as puppet work. Found myself smiling all the way through, with these intelligent performances.... full review

ANXIETY THE MUSICAL! (do you like that title? is that okay?)

alon dina · June 23, 2026 certified reviewer
Jasmine Elist delivers a captivating and deeply relatable performance in Anxiety the Musical! (do you like that title? is that okay?), guiding audiences through the many ways anxiety has shaped her life across different stages and experiences. Through original songs, character work, and plenty of humor, she transforms a topic that can feel overwhelming into something accessible, entertaining, and surprisingly uplifting. Likely going in my top ten!... full review

Bless This Jess

alon dina · June 23, 2026 certified reviewer
A blend of history and mental health, with surprising and insightful twists. Jessica Martin takes us through the history of Joan of Arc while also detailing his life, finding parallels. I could not help but think of Joseph Campbell's saying, "Find your myth" and Jess sharing the synchronicity that comes with it. The best history class I have attended in years!... full review

Sister Bernadette Runs the Light

alon dina · June 23, 2026 certified reviewer
Indiana Wilson delivers a stellar performance, keeping the audience laughing from start to finish with impeccable timing and effortless charm. I walked in with no idea what to expect and left grateful that I took the leap of faith. Beneath the laughs is a thoughtful exploration of identity and purpose, giving the comedy an unexpected emotional resonance. Short, sharp, and wonderfully balanced, Sister Bernadette is a joyful Fringe experience. ... full review

A charming, witty, and surprisingly heartfelt romantic comedy that captures the awkwardness, excitement, and vulnerability of dating later in life. The cast delivers strong performances across the board, bringing warmth and authenticity to relationships that feel real and connected. The dialogue is sharp and funny, funny moments with genuine emotional depth.... full review

SOMETHING SPOOKY

alon dina · June 21, 2026 certified reviewer
Something Spooky by Jon Schnitzer is something special and absolutely not to be missed. Schnitzer is a master storyteller, weaving horror and comedy together in a way that feels both intimate and unexpectedly personal. The show has the atmosphere of sharing ghost stories around a campfire with friends, elevated by clever theatrical effects that deepen the sense of dread.... full review

Don't Kill Daisy

alon dina · June 20, 2026 certified reviewer
Don't Kill Daisy is a remarkable display of creativity, improvisation, and audience engagement. Unforgettable, delightfully weird, and unlike anything else at Fringe. Describing the plot almost feels beside the point. The show operates on dream logic, unfolding in unexpected directions that likely change from performance to performance. Part of its magic is that no two journeys will ever be exactly alike.... full review

Little Chaos

alon dina · June 20, 2026 certified reviewer
Little Chaos at Cat's Crawl is one of my top ten Fringe shows this year. I was completely blown away. The production unfolds like a dream—fluid, surreal, and emotionally resonant in a way that's difficult to describe but impossible to forget. At its heart, the show feels like an exploration of what modern dating does to the soul. Rather than telling a straightforward story, it creates a theatrical language of feeling, transforming emotion into movement, image, sound, and space.... full review

The Magic Computer

alon dina · June 17, 2026 certified reviewer
Deeply personal, the one-person show follows Kel Cripe's journey into discovering their gender. The Magic Computer offers unsolicited photos that are memories from the past, and Cripe is here to share and explore what has come up on their magic computer. Cripe has a comedian's instinct for finding humor in vulnerability, and the laughs arrive naturally alongside genuinely moving moments. A wickedly funny and important show, one that offers insight and soul-stirring moments. I highly recommend th... full review

MPAT's Burt Thunders Presents: The First Annual Fundraiser to Save the Whales

alon dina · June 17, 2026 certified reviewer
Burt Thunder is a delightfully unhinged comedy that thrives on chaos. The premise is wonderfully simple: fading local celebrity Burt Thunders is determined to raise a million dollars to save the whales through a telethon, and his increasingly desperate attempts to do so send the entire production spiraling into absurdity.... full review
