SO MUCH FUN! I happen to know the horror/genius that is TROLL 2 and you'd definitely benefit from knowing it, but it's by no means a requirement! A great (huge!) cast with fun numbers doing a bang-up job with source material! All the usual 2-Cent suspects are unsurprisingly wonderful, with a temporary addition of Sarah Wolter who was a stand-out! Don't piss on their hospitality!... full review

The Cherry Poppins open the Knock Shop in the Woods to welcome a reluctant Little Rojo. Shenanigans ensue in the best possible ways. CPC always put on good shows, but this tops everything that's come before - witches, genies, princesses, princes, lesbians, and other fictional characters abound! Seriously. See this ASAP. It got a standing ovation halfway through the show. Go now.... full review

All my questions WERE answered! A hilarious, informative (sometimes misinformative) hour cleft in Twain by audience participation and TRUTH! The often combustible author will have you screaming with laughter and leaving the theatre knowing just a bit more than you ever really wanted to know. If you saw POE SHOW from the last Fringe, you get where this is headed. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!... full review

A "Real Inspector Hound" for the reality TV crowd! Tom Cavanaugh's multi-layered farce based on a true event (seriously) moves quickly relaying the main storyline effectively, but the meat is found in his breaking down the players in the television AND theater food chain. Steven Wollenberg gives a stand-out performance as a hot shot studio exec on one side of the "screen," while avatars for many "types" we know too well sit on the other side, a painful reminder of who we may be seeing at the bar ... full review

Annie Lesser, man. Annie Lesser. Look, I'm not going to review this show except to say that the thing I love about Fringe is that in one theater you can see a straight-ahead production of SOUND OF MUSIC and then you can see an Annie Lesser show after that and you will have jumped from one end of the "theatrical style line" to the other. I'll prefer the Annie Lesser show. GO TO THIS!! Keight, you're my everything.... full review

WILDLY upset that I only caught one episode, but the one I caught was phenomenal! A brilliant idea bought to fruition with amazing results! I wish I'd been able to experience the whole story! PLEASE COME BACK NEXT YEAR!!!... full review

I loved this show! Penny is adorable, funny, heartbreaking, and intensely talented. If you missed this show at Fringe, be sure to seek it out for encores or extensions because it is a fabulous journey!... full review

There's no point in my reviewing this show, because I feel it's all been said. Words like "brilliant," "funny," "touching" (I do wish he'd stop touching me), "intelligent," don't do the show justice. And as a huge Bardophile, I was not only blown away by MSF's performance, but by the way the script can be used as both a captivating story and as quality argumentative material for the authorship debate. I heard about this "Michael Shaw Fisher" guy last year when he was winning all those award... full review

Fantastic. This is my kind of theatre - smart, witty, historical, zany, and macabre. I'll just say "GO!" because every aspect of this show is on point and I'm SO glad I got a chance to see it!!!!... full review

I cried three times. I laughed out loud. This show reminded me why I love theatre and how I love it in a different way than I love movies and books and TV. The vulnerability and joy of Katelyn Schiller hit me in ways I did not expect and I learned things about myself and RE-learned things about acting after watching this show. Does all of that sound pretentious and like false praise? So be it. It's all true. See this.... full review
