The Time Machine

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

I absolutely loved this show! This is by far one of the best adaptations of The Time Machine I have seen. The writing, the acting, the costuming, the sound effects, and the puppets! All were fantastic. I brought my family and my kids thoroughly enjoyed it as well. I would gladly see it again and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience child-like joy and wonder again. ... full review

The Time Machine is a nuanced, well-written, and beautifully performed story. The cast are each very believable in their roles, with very distinct voices. Jessica Martin as "The Time Traveler" was a standout. Benjamin Burns has created beautifully crafted puppets, which are a show in and of themselves. And Benjamin McFadden not only wrote a very timely re-imagining of the story, but gave the characters true lives on stage. ... full review

This was a very creative and fast-paced adaptation of HG Wells’ classic tale. ... full review

This show was a joy from start to finish. All the actors involved embodied their characters perfectly, and really made me believe we were in late 1800s England. One of the best parts about this show, is the devilishly creative use of storytelling, lights, set, and PUPPETS! My God! The puppetry was beyond exquisite! I found myself caring for these puppets as if they were the actors themselves. Everyone breathed so much life into them that they felt real. What a immensely immersive and surprising adaptation. This show is to be commended for it's outstanding out of the box presentation. A joy from start to finish.... full review
