Waiting for [Gal] Gadot by Jake Thomas

dave jesteadt · June 18, 2026 certified reviewer
What a show! It was polished, with cutting, loaded and original writing, and anchored by fantastic performances across the entire small cast, with two leads (Jake and Michael) really holding it down. I also learned how to pronounce Gal Gadot’s name and that’s a plus. I hate the state of the industry and I hate the seeping of AI into every aspect of creativity and life. That said, it’s tempting and easy to score lazy points and end up just as rehashed as some Gen AI junk, and I was moved that the ... full review

THE LINCOLN DEBATE

paul porter · June 18, 2026 uncertified reviewer
I really enjoyed this show! I wanted to encourage anyone interested in a fast paced and humorous exploration of the “was he or was he not” topic to catch this one. The cast is great. The production is solid. The audience is presented the known facts and history with letters as evidence so they can come to their own conclusions. Fun!... full review

Punish Me

olga konstantulakis · June 18, 2026 certified reviewer
I really enjoyed PUNISH ME. It was riveting - played out like a psychological thriller where I felt myself leaning into it wanting to know more and more. Great cast and direction is on point. What I loved the most was Michael's character and his relationship to the audience when he breaks the 4th wall and talks to us as the character - wonderfully funny and intimate. I can see this play finding it's full breath and colors on screen.... full review

You're Not My Dad

vicki kirschenbaum · June 18, 2026 certified reviewer
I was very moved by this story of parents behaving badly. I could relate to it, and to the ways family members manipulate memories, intentionally or not. I was inspired by the narrator facing up to the abusive stepdad and finally walking away from the abuse.... full review

NILBOG! the Troll 2 musical

lisa k. wyatt · June 18, 2026 certified reviewer
A delightful helping of "what the heck just happened?" (edited to meet Fringe profanity standards, but you know what I mean). Enjoyed every minute of this wild ride of a musical dedicated to a gleefully awful B-movie (that you don't have to have seen to thoroughly enjoy this tribute/skewering.) From the first interaction in line, the sheer joy of everyone involved comes shining through. Go. You'll have a great time... unless you don't like fun.... full review

Bebé Bebé

olga konstantulakis · June 18, 2026 certified reviewer
This show is one of my favorites that I've seen at fringe. Veronica fearlessly invites us into the world of postpartum and she does not hold back!! She is my HERO. Her show is beautifully raw, truthful and hysterically funny about a phase of motherhood that is not often enough depicted or talked about. ... full review

On the Line

christopher showerman · June 18, 2026 certified reviewer
On The Line was compelling from the opening moment. The script would allow you to almost catch up to this unfolding mystery and then surprise you with another unexpected twist. Jeff, Emily, and Lucas were riveting and believable. ... full review

On the Line

tyler hayes stilwill · June 18, 2026 certified reviewer
One the Line is a tight, well put together, incredibly tense thriller. Disturbing and scary. Funny and charming. Somehow all at once. The show achieved an unsettling feel, that only grew and made me continuously wonder when the sh*t was going to hit the fan.... full review

F*cking Famous

olga konstantulakis · June 18, 2026 certified reviewer
I loved everything about F*CKING FAMOUS...from it being set on Hollywood blvd in a wig shop to every bit of unexpected thereafter. Molly is brilliantly creatively weird - in the best way possible. So refreshing and wonderfully bizarre, but totally relatable because it all comes from a deeply human place. I found myself singing "t**s in the air! T**s in the air all the way home. ... full review

ABBY NORMAL THE MUSICAL

sue gisser · June 18, 2026 certified reviewer
A uniquely moving story. On every level, "Abby Normal" is the theatrical embodiment of ‘character being forged not by the circumstances of what happens to you, but rather through what you choose to do with those experiences.’ “Abby Normal” was born out of Sandra Cruze’s family’s real life experience with epilepsy. Through it, she alchemizes her family’s pain, frustration, disappointments, fears, challenges, and longings - wrapping them up in pure love, passion and perseverance, infusing their... full review

F*cking Famous

amanda gnaedinger · June 18, 2026 certified reviewer
An absolutely unhinged fever dream that I won't soon forget. Frantic and fun, F*cking Famous is the perfect example of what modern clowning can be: connective, disturbing, and deeply funny in all the best ways. My god, Molly Sharpe shows the f*ck up and so should you!... full review
