Crabshley

I was laughing my claws off. This show was expertly written and performed to perfectly blend the heartfelt moments with the outrageous humor. What starts as a classic trip back home, turns into an epic horny spy thriller! Plus! There's a bouquet toss, YAY! An excellent play, I'm so glad I was able to see it. ... full review

Maggie is charming and hilarious. Expertly written and performed! A show and a story you didn't know you needed. Will leave you feeling light and giddy. Hilarious, but with a big heart. Also surprisingly informative about horseshoe crabs...... full review

I had a great time at this show. The premise alone—a horseshoe crab navigating weddings, kidnapping, and an all-around crazy journey—was delightfully absurd, and the performance fully committed to the bit in the best possible way. The sold-out crowd was well deserved, and after seeing the show, I'm not surprised tickets went so quickly. Congratulations on a hilarious and uniquely entertaining performance!... full review

A surprisingly moving, coming of age story about a naive but darling invertebrate seeking purpose in a landlocked place. A great piece that showcases Monahan's comedic voice and talents. If you didn't have thoughts on horseshoe crabs before, you will after this!... full review

This show is what fringe is all about! Hilarious, silly, unique, and delightfully entertaining. I didn't want it to end, but the plot was so well crafted that I get why it had to!... full review

Crabshley will have you smiling beginning to end. What a beautiful, goofy journey all back by an amazing performance!... full review

Did I expect to laugh seeing Crabshley? Yes. And I did. The entire time. Did I expect to become deeply educated on the anatomy of horseshoe crabs? Not really but looking back it makes sense. Did I expect to become emotionally invested in the life and struggles of a marine arthropod? Absolutely not. And yet I did. Maggie’s show is a blanket of laughter and joy wrapped tightly around a deep, beautiful message of acceptance and self-love. I would recommend this show to everyone I know.... full review

What if you were different than all the other girls? What if you were born with a disability that kept you out of most of the fun in life? You were born different-I mean really different. What if you were born a human Horse shoe crab? With a giant unwieldy shell and tentacles? You are at the point in your life were all your girlfriends are getting married and for some reason you were NOT invited to be a bridesmaid. Big surprise! NOT. This short non-stop, laugh-a-minute one woman play delights us with this dilemma. Using the audience as other characters at the wedding-a hair stylist, a make up artist, the bride-to-be, we share Crabsley's frustration and humiliation in being left out once again due to her "difference".
