52 Pick-up

Hilarious, heartwarming, as show of life and resilience. A love story full of tragedy and humor and understanding, type of show that makes you cry and laugh, laugh more than cry. Just loved it.... full review

Very emotional swirling spontaneous expressions. Creative communication technique flowing with nonverbal cues. Loved the Clown culture and traditions using playing cards and trash cans.... full review

Absolutely thought-provoking, something so different and delightful and filled with surprises. The depth of emotion and generosity of spirit within the performances was breathtaking. I don’t want to give too much away because I think people need to see it, but I can guarantee you you’ve never seen anything like it.... full review

52 PICK-UP is a delightful, adorable, painful one act clown show. I felt for the characters all the way through. This classical beauty builds its own meaning through clever prop work, perhaps confusing at first but when things click, it feels like a wonderful magic trick. I’ve never experienced a show like this, clown in the traditional sense. The costumes are iconic, the actors are skilled and charming, and the silence makes every noise more impactful.... full review

This is the kind of piece Fringe cels at: wildly creative, thought-provoking, and heartfelt Ann Noble and Jeffrey Johnson are perfect foils for one another's talents. You're in skilled hands here--don't think, feel it. ... full review

I love this show. Beyond Words. Ann Noble and Jeffrey Johnson make a brilliant team. A master class in physical story telling. And so much heart. ... full review

Surprising. Involving. Wholly inventive. Moving the audience alternately from guffaws to gasps and teary eyes. The actors’ portrayals were nimble and intimate, but the subjects touched upon were universal. A gem. Kudos to the two wonderful leads and everyone involved. ... full review
