A send-up of the nineties with expert level singing, dancing, and jokes.... full review

It's an updated "God Of Carnage" but with Hollywood influencers instead of parents. Plus there's a deal with the devil type scenario which is well executed. It's the best fun I've ever had watching people be despicable.... full review

A well performed snapshot of the women in the Manson cult. Fun songs and choreography paired with a plot that starts light and a little funny and quickly escalates to the dark moment when the decision is made to murder Sharon Tate. Tonally it is very similar to Sondheim's Assasins.... full review

This one really pulls you in and it's difficult to describe how. It's tongue in cheek, funny, a little goofy, and then also genuinely contemplative.... full review

Free drink-and-draw event with wild costumes. Fringe cast members are the models. It's a series of short poses followed by a few longer (15min to 20min). It's a lot of fun, even for beginners.... full review

A brisk and entertaining retelling of an underrated historical figure. Told with humor and cutting dialogue. I highly recommend it. Check out Mary Seacole's entry in the Rejected Princesses book for a few more fun details about her.... full review

Many Fringe shows feel like a workshop or first draft of a production. Trixie is among the few that feels fully formed and pretty much perfect. It starts as a ridiculous musical with glitter and ribbon dancing, then slowly transcends the schmaltz to a cathartic and emotional ending. The humor hits on many different levels, ranging from corny/over-the-top to very human moments where the audience is cringing at the familiarity. It's an extremely satisfying show and is worth seeing multiple times as... full review

Fun campy treatment of the werewolf mythos with lots of 50's inspired style. Part of the premise is the audience is being pitched the opportunity to live in a planned community with old school repressive values and lots of surveillance. Just ignore the weird grisly deaths and such...... full review

A high energy skewering/ode to Buffy and Twilight with Street Fighter inspired fight scenes. Goofy and fun. Clearly done with love. Get some drinks with friends and watch a corny nerdy thing.... full review

Great dramatic play that tackles big themes without being stuffy. Gangsters dealing with shifting roles, friendship, aging, and identity. Everyone has either dealt with the same issues directly or watched someone struggle with them. It's fun to see 2 wise guys face it with lots of profanity. It builds to an emotional punch really well. The 2 actors connect very well and are very genuine.... full review
