13th Grade

Look, for a real good time, this is one show you MUST see in context of the Fringe. If you paid 50 bucks and went to a larger theater, not so much. You've got a great, game cast (two in prticular, Lucas Alifano and Tiffany Brain are standouts) and some fairly catchy tunes, but it winds up being sophomoric when sophistication would have been wiser because of the overindulgence in sexual topics. (I'm rather certain the first year of college is a little more than "Let's have sex" -- parody or otherwise). Occasionally very funny, but character development is slight, so it's only as good as the songs -- which, let's face it, are mostly not that memorable.... full review
