The Time Machine is bold, inventive, and just plain fun. This gender-bent, ensemble-driven take on the classic sci-fi novel breathes new life into the story, while also tossing in a few modern winks around class, power, and control. It’s part period drama, part dystopian adventure, part puppet fever dream and somehow it all works. The lighting and sound design during the time travel sequences were especially cool, as was the slow-mo time warp at the beginning. The cast’s popcorn-style narration kept the pace moving and the energy high. Whether you’re a fan of the original book or just in the mood for a fresh theatrical experience, The Time Machine is a blast. Do yourself a favor and SEE THIS SHOW before time runs out!... full review

When did I fall in love with puppets? Tonight! This show is spectacular on so many levels such as the amazing acting, costuming, directing and obviously the puppetry. I was transported through time with the traveler and Winna and hope this production goes further then just fringe as it needs to be seen by a larger audience. ... full review
