My overall impression
This is Real, This is Me is one of the most memorable and polished productions I’ve seen at Fringe this year. The use of stage space and props was remarkably smart—nothing ever felt wasted, and everything served the story. The entire cast delivered gripping, high-energy performances, with fearless character shifts and tightly choreographed scenes that never lost their pace.
Tamra Wasserman’s show doesn’t just tell a story—it constructs a whole world, one that extends from the stage to the poster design and even the program. It’s a playful yet cohesive piece that pushes past conventional theater formats with creativity and control. At once hilarious, chaotic, and emotionally grounded, this is top-tier Fringe theater—an unforgettable experience that’s as clever as it is heartfelt.
