The Best of 25 Plays Per Hour

The praise for this show is well-deserved. What a strong cast! Some of these mini-plays will stick with you. My Faves: The fantastic "White Satin, Clean Lines" featuring Coutney Sara Bell, "Amnesia" with Coutney Sara Bell & Jenn Scuderi Crafts which reminded me of classic live TV comedy, the Serial Killer series with Jim Martyka and a deliriously funny Heather Lake and "The Greatest Detective" with Heather Lake, Lee Pollero, Liz Flemming and Ben Atkinson.... full review

Fun energetic show that had me laughing all the way through. It runs like a sketch show, but has some good moments of theater. 25 plays in one hour is a great way to experience simple story telling in a short amount of time, and fill satisfied at the same. This show is a must.... full review

Very enjoyable, fast paced fun evening with top notch performances by all the actors. ... full review

I saw 25 Plays Per Hour last year and loved it. With the nature of a "best of" approach, they've culled the cream of the crop from years past and the result is indeed even more hilarious, and surprisingly at points, touching. High energy cast, directed with great pacing and variety. GO!... full review

My friends and I had a great time! The performers were outstanding; and the writing was really good too which I was not expecting. There were plays that had us dying of laughter and bursting into applause. The ones that we weren't crazy about (which were only a couple) were over before it could drain the energy of the show. I really recommend this show, it's very entertaining.... full review

This is just such a fine time, and moves seamlessly between each of the 25 plays. Did you ever wonder whether a Sophie's Choice might not mean what you think that word means? And when you're gay, and you phone home to finally share the message, and then things spiral out of control? And that's only on the *first* attempt? Or your beautiful, beautiful wedding dress... but then there's a story behind that weight loss - such a story. Great show! Mark Bell... full review

I've seen this show many, many times over the past several years, and enjoyed it each time, though I can say without reservation that this is my favorite iteration of the series thus far. The cast is engaging and talented, and the shorts deliver on their promise of tight, speedy stories told at a machine-gun pace. As soon as you feel like you might be settling into one, they bounce right along into the next, which makes it all the more impressive that the talented group of folks is able to make real, honest, and fleshed-out characters out of each of the kaleidoscope that revolves around the stage over the course of the hour. There is no question in my mind that this show is worth your time and money, and would appeal to almost anyone that e... full review

I wish sometimes I could just make people go and see certain plays. I can't. So I'll write this review instead and tell everyone that asks "what's good?" that this is a MUST SEE! I've seen 12 plays (at the time of writing this) at the fringe and this is my pick so far. So, you understand the concept right? It's 25 very short plays in an hour. Cool. But the concept isn't what makes it a MUST SEE. It's purely the content. Being from London and having see A LOT of theater, some of these 2 min plays had me laughing, scorning and even crying! Honestly, a good few of these wondrous 2 min plays I would not only pay 12 dollars to see on their own, I would prefer to see than some shows I've seen at the fringe this year or even theater in general.

Super-fun "sketchy" show with a lot of laughs, some all-out hysterical bits, and an unexpected and quite moving monologue. I'd be more specific, but you're better served going to see the show and being pleasantly surprised yourself! I will say that one or two of the pieces were so well conceived that I was green with envy. ;) Check it out!!... full review

Attending a 25 PPH show is a rite of passage at the Fringe, and this year's offering is the perfect one to experience what is definitely one of the best of Fringe traditions. See the rest of the review at Examiner.com.... full review
