The Mayor's Debate of Tranquility, Nebraska

matthew robinson · June 17, 2019 certified reviewer
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!... full review

REVENGE OF THE ROOTBEER: The Sequel To Night Of The Rootbeer

matthew robinson · June 14, 2019 certified reviewer
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.... full review

Sunbathe in Darkness

matthew robinson · June 10, 2019 certified reviewer
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... full review

A wonderful, funny, touching and impactful show. Told with wit, honesty and cheeky humor by Christi Pedigo this will be a fantastic addition to anyone's Fringe schedule.

It's a real feel good play!... full review

An Excuse To Behave Badly

matthew robinson · June 10, 2019 certified reviewer
A wonderfully written show with a real sense of authenticity. You feel like you know these women because they are so well drawn in such a short amount of time. A show that never gets too silly, nor too heavy it finds that perfect blend of realism and theatre antics to make you truly feel as if you are with these women on a wild night of partying. Jenni Halina along with Drea Garcia, Stephanie Sherry, Alex Owens-Sarno and director Kelsea Burke have a strong and talented command of dialogue and cha... full review

A well acted, well directed and crafted show that drops you right into the world of these characters and hooks you into to their daily life as it reaches a crucial apex.
