Pam Eberhardt has written a dark, rich take on the current state of the American family and it is sadly and eerily not that absurd. With sharp dialogue, brazen performances, and deft direction, Family Fries is a great piece of theatre.... full review

This show delighted me. The writing is so incredibly funny, with no shortage of insane decisions made by various characters and situations that hit with so much matter of fact darkness that you cannot help but laugh. A major highlight for me was Pam Eberhardt as Jake, who might be one of my favorite characters I have seen in a piece, ever. Her somehow grounded portrayal of this madwoman is a real lesson in how more rewarding comedic moments can come from playing to truth. Even if that truth is psychotic. That is accurate for the entire cast, by the way — it's extremely well acted across the board. I loved all the characters. ... full review

A beautiful piece of dark comedy. An absolute freight train of tragic truths turned comedic beats. It is simultaneously devastating and hilarious. Every character shines and serves a distinct purpose.... full review

This play is not to be forgotten. It strikes quick and hard and without apology. I know it made an impression because I'm currently offline for a week's vacation but knew I had to leave my review. ... full review

A true dark comedy through and through about one of the most dysfunctional families you'll ever see on stage. Snappy directing and standout performances - notably from Davis and Legget, with Legget's exit as one of the funniest moments I've seen from this year's fringe. No spoilers, as the story takes some serious turns!... full review

Sure, it's fucked up and gross and irreverent and shocking, but what if it was also funny? This play manages to pack more emotions (for the players and the audience) than I've experienced in the real world over 35 years. Big ups to the writing, performances, and pacing of the show for managing to couch some BIG payoffs into a show that manages to stay one dirty little step ahead of the crowd for 75 straight minutes. Move over, Chekov's Gun, because this show has Chekov's Everything. Including a gun. If you're looking for a rollercoaster of tight writing, powerhouse performances, jaw-dropping moments, and belly laughs that will make you feel weird about yourself, this is it. This is the show.... full review
