Punish Me

shelly papadopoulos · June 15, 2026 certified reviewer
PUNISH ME is a psychological thriller written by Michael Dukakis, who plays the main character, Nick. Dukakis is joined by a well-rounded cast. It is inspired by true events that follow Nick, a vulnerable Greek screenwriter whose desperate bid for a Hollywood breakthrough leads him into a toxic marriage with a manipulative con artist. The fast-paced production utilizes a cinematic, vignette-based style to capture the suffocating reality of narcissistic abuse, gaslighting and financial exploitat... full review

Playback

andrew phillips · June 15, 2026 certified reviewer
I did enjoy Playback. I think it’s a really great representation of the zeitgeist without playing tropes for laughs. There is comedy and that comes from real lives in character moments and well crafted and delivered jokes. The story itself is layered and grows more intense as the play chugs along. While the piece does feel so current I am certain it can be something that lasts as a portrait of this moment in culture. ... full review

Playback

shannon kennedy · June 15, 2026 certified reviewer
Playback was devasting, and still funny. The commodification of cruelty is particularly strange in the context of the "POD" cast. The whole notion of attention as power and the price of the power being what one is willing to excavate and expose and share or not. Who gets to tell the story and the why of the story is such a central question and a battlefield. Identity, labels, power and status. Lost in all of it is someone to care about. In the end the singular voice of decency is Bobby. Th... full review

So Baby

anonymous · June 15, 2026 uncertified reviewer
So Baby is a sharp, modern comedic drama that dives into the chaos of early college life, identity, and power struggles between young women forced into close quarters. The play captures the intensity of freshman-year emotions—ambition, insecurity, friendship, and rivalry—while balancing humor with uncomfortable honesty. Overall, it feels like a bold, character-driven piece that reflects the pressures of “peak college admissions insanity” and what comes after the acceptance letter.... full review

COFFEE DATE

andrew phillips · June 15, 2026 certified reviewer
Coffee Date has high energy right out of the gate and maintains it. The madcap energy has delightful elements of a farce but also feels comfortable like a sitcom of the same genre a modern update of Three’s Company or Frasier.... full review

NILBOG! the Troll 2 musical

carol m. becker · June 15, 2026 certified reviewer
This might very well be the most foppish musical to hit the Fringe! And for those like myself, who come in knowing nothing about the original source material, you'll do just fine. Taken from the "best" worst movie ever made, this show is chock full of characters, songs, dances and a never-ending supply of camp. Poor little Joshua (Tiffany Asta) just cannot get his family to believe him about the true occupants in Nilbog, where they've moved. It's only with Grandpa Seth's (Eric Gellar) help tha... full review

DADDY ISSUES

gianna butler · June 15, 2026 certified reviewer
Wow. I may be biased because we are friends but I was blown away about this honest and raw story. I have known Spencer since 2018 so I already know most of his past and growth overtime. But the way he told it on stage, felt like a whole new perspective and I was completely moved by it. The show is an honest, courageous, and is deeply personal exploration of his coming out journey. What makes it so powerful is how specific and authentic his storytelling feels. I almost felt like I was actually the... full review
