I had a blast! What an achievement, what a cast, what an adaptation. I haven't read the novel but I just picked it up to see how closely it aligns with the show. I enjoyed what I remembered from the 1960 film. ... full review

The Time Machine, directed by Benjamin McFadden, is a whimsical and heartfelt adventure. Christie CORAN, delivers a captivating performance as the author/narrator, guiding the audience with warmth and wonder.

Really cool adaptation of The Time Machine. It's incredibly theatrical and creative. The technical aspects, the set, the puppets - all of it came together beautifully. An hour and a half just flew by. ... full review

Beautiful, engaging, exciting, heartfelt, creative, impeccably executed. True theater magic. The Time Machine takes us on a journey through time and space and multiple magical lands full of characters and adventure. The sound design, lighting, puppets, and (minimal) set props were all used so well. That paired with stellar acting and a superbly written script truly painted a mental landscape of every magical world we enter. I laughed, I cried, I never stopped asking questions. If you love fantasy, sci-fi, folklore, mystery, and puppetry DONT MISS THIS SHOW! ... full review

This cast was OVERFLOWING with talent! I never thought I would get so emotionally attached to a puppet. ... full review

This production is funny, charming, engaging, and thought-provoking and absolutely worth going to see. It's much better than I expect from the average Fringe show. The performances are excellent and the actor who plays the time traveler provides a captivating performance. The puppet design is superb and the actors do a great job bringing them to life.... full review
