I was laughing uncontrillably. Incredibly stupid and silly in the BEST way. Rennaisance Faire meets modern day low-brow humor. ...

A spectacular feast for the eyes with impressive ensemble work. This troupe has to do everything under the sun and it works so well. Come see trickster if you like whimsical costumes, amazing acting, puppetry, dancing, or if you just want to be totally inspired and laugh a lot for an hour and some change....

A great group of ideas and explorations on folk mythology by an energetic cast. The show boasts some good looking puppets and ideas, but they are not used to their full effect. A rough blend of storytelling, commedia, and clown that never seems to really find itself in the 90-minute run-time.
The show opens with promise with a variety of clever puppets and physical effects which gave me hope that I'd be seeing these used throughout. When similar opportunities arise later, the show resorts to projection effects to create the creatures rather than puppetry or shadow play....
