This show is a knock-out. What starts as a fun work-place dramedy spirals into a dark thriller that kept me guessing every step of the way. Don't read anything about it, just go!... full review

ANONYMOUS certified reviewer June 23, 2026
ON THE LINE FOR BEST DRAMA! Finally! A show at Fringe that feels like a practically fully realized, polished, professional production. Would love to see what $$$ would do for a show like this. Could expand it, but it's a pretty perfect 1-act. I left uncomfortable (as intended) and so pleased and relieved that my time wasn't wasted. ... full review

A captivating show about trauma, how we respond to it and the importance of trusting our instincts. The show handles triggering subject matter with care (while still examining honestly), finds moments of levity and is paced well. Bravo to all involved!... full review

MARIKA ENGELHARDT certified reviewer June 22, 2026
Wow. It's a wild pressure cooker of a show. On the edge of my seat, and the actors were incredible. An exciting new play. You think you know what's happening, but just when you think you do...you don't. Must see!... full review

ALON DINA stage takes certified reviewer June 23, 2026
Writer/directors Pam Eberhardt and Dan Testa return to the Fringe Festival with a tense, psychological thriller about crisis counselors working the overnight shift. I first heard about this show as I saw audience members walking out of the theater, after the show had ended, remarking, "That show was so good... intense!" And I cannot help but agree! The show is more about the relationships within the center, the unfolding of character, than the crises they work on. With chilling performances and a strong script, these actors do a good job at getting into each other's skins. ... full review

GAYLE BLUEMEL certified reviewer June 23, 2026
From Fringes past, I knew Emily Clark was an accomplished musical and comedic performer. She is currently showing us her incredible range, brilliantly using her acting chops as the pivotal character in On The Line, an intense thrill of a ride expertly co-written and directed by Pamela Quinn Eberhardt and Dan Testa. Lucas Alifano and Jeff Scot Carey are equally compelling. What a show... exposing the gas-lighting women have endured forever. Can't wait to see it again to do some clue mining.... full review

CYANNE MCCLAIRIAN certified reviewer June 19, 2026
Just. WOW! I can not say enough about this show. It is not easy to write about such a complicated, triggering subject matter with so much humor & heart. As a rape survivor myself, to catch myself laughing? And then welling up with tears by the end... this is easily the best stage production I've ever seen in regards to the survivors perspective, while also showing how commonplace this kind of thing has sadly become. Still resonating days later. I truly felt seen. Powerful! ... full review
