root (running out of time)
PEYTON ASHBY certified reviewer June 23, 2026
A smart conversation with excellent writing about a very plausible future. Compelling performances from the whole cast (including the digital ones!) with costumes and set that have attention to detail to really paint a new world in the theater. Great job to the entire cast and crew!... full review

I went for the augmented reality novelty but was gripped by the world building and humanity. A rich storyworld, intricate storytelling, and strong performances make this a must see!... full review

Very imaginative, mind-bending endeavor pushing the boundaries of what stories can be told in a theatre - it's rare to see a complex sci-fi premise treated with seriousness on a Fringe stage. Addresses a topical issue on all our minds right now.... full review

A really interesting story world that Id love to learn more about as this piece develops! I really enjoyed the onstage avatar and use of cellphones. Cellphones in the theatre are an un-ignorable pest, I like the concept of them being part of the storytelling of a play. ... full review

ROOT (Running Out Of Time) is an ambitious experiment in blending live performance with augmented reality. The show is strongest when the focus remains on Pluto’s choice to ascend into a digital existence.... full review

ANONYMOUS certified reviewer June 09, 2026
This show takes a deep dive into a far from unlikely biotech scenario: the possibility that before long we'll be able to download our consciousnesses into cyberspace. After which time, while our bodies might perish, our minds might endure forevermore. And what I liked MOST about this imaginative work was that, while it grapples with a hypothetical future for humanity, it addresses one of the most ancient of existential dilemmas: the craving that all of posesss for some manner of immortality.
