The Board

gregory crafts · June 07, 2015 certified reviewer
When I read that this show was along the lines of Law & Order and Homeland, I was intrigued. Much to my enjoyment, I discovered that the story certainly did not disappoint. This riveting monologue (calling this a one-person show would be a disservice, short-selling the experience), delivered by the incredibly talented Sarah Hollis, transfixed me for the better part of an hour. If you like engaging tales of adventure and intrigue, check out The Board. You won't regret it.... full review

Annabella

gregory crafts · June 07, 2015 uncertified reviewer
I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Tony Gonzalez when he came on last-minute to take over music direction on POPE! An Epic Musical at Theatre Unleashed last year. When you first meet him, Tony comes off as soft-spoken and rather unassuming, but what I quickly witnessed firsthand while directing POPE! was that when you get him behind a piano, magic happens. What I found out even later was that when Tony opens his mouth to sing... MAGIC HAPPENS. I mean, DAMN! He's got a VOICE! And he pu... full review

Breaking Bard

gregory crafts · June 06, 2015 certified reviewer
In the vein of Pulp Shakespeare and Two Gentlemen of Lebowski comes Breaking Bard. A brilliant mashup of Bill Shakespeare and Breaking Bad. The show's only an hour, so it hits the highlights of the series (spoliers abound!). The script renders the tragic tale of Walter of Albuquerque into cleverly-crafted verses that hint at the Bard's greatest hits, and rounds the story out with broad strokes of comedic brilliance. If you're a fan of either Shakespeare or Walter White (or both! Especially both!)... full review

Alien Vs. Musical

gregory crafts · June 06, 2015 certified reviewer
Maria von Trapp in a suit of power armor protecting Little Orphan Annie from the Xenomorph Queen. Let me say that again. MARIA VON TRAPP. IN POWER ARMOR. PROTECTING ORPHAN ANNIE. FROM XENOMORPHS. Holy. Crap. If that's not enough (and it damn well should be!), the clever songs, well-executed gags and Top-Notch puppetry should be enough to motivate you to head over to the Elephant for this brilliant hour of entertainment. This show is easily a frontrunner for Best Musical th... full review

Nigerian Spam Scam Scam

gregory crafts · June 06, 2015 certified reviewer
At the intersection of Epic Trolling and Life As Performance Art lies "Nigerian Spam Scam Scam." An exciting, escalating story about African internet con artists being conned in return by a character actor with too much time on his hands, featuring an ending that will drop your jaw when it drops the mic, and make you jump to your feet with applause. See it. Believe it. Love it. I did. ... full review

One of the best pieces of physical theatre I've ever seen (and the first time I've actually "gotten" the story being told in a dance piece - a real achievement). This athletic trio speaks volumes while barely uttering a syllable ("Dobkins!"). Absolutely enchanting and engaging. Do not miss this show. ... full review

The Poe Show

gregory crafts · June 05, 2015 certified reviewer
A fantastic, entertaining production based on a clever and well-executed concept. I'd expect nothing less from what amounts to be a team of Fringe All-Stars - both on stage and behind the scenes. I want more Poe show! Seriously, make this a podcast or something!... full review

Four Clowns presents The Halfwits' Last Hurrah

gregory crafts · June 05, 2015 uncertified reviewer
The Four Clowns do it again! The Halfwits' Last Hurrah swings for the fences, and through top-notch slapstick, clowning and circus acrobatics, knocks it clear out of the park! An outstanding comedic offering with a surprising amount of heart. The narrative could stand to be refined and clarified a little bit, but that minor quibble will certainly not ruin your enjoyment of this vaudeville spectacular. Put this on your must-see list. PS - In addition to the show being straight-up awesome, the ... full review

Professor Nakamoto's Nexus of Numbers

gregory crafts · June 30, 2014 certified reviewer
I've been seeing theatre for almost 30 years, and I've been creating it for over twenty. As a result, it takes a truly special production to earn a standing ovation from me. After seeing Professor Nakamoto's Nexus of Numbers... well, I can't even begin to explain what it was I beheld. See, the show isn't just one trick after another after another, like a typical magic show. No, instead this is an hour-long experience featuring several different thought experiments - ranging from the construction ... full review

Lost Moon Radio presents Million Dollar Hair

gregory crafts · June 30, 2014 uncertified reviewer
I've been a Lost Moon Radio fanboy since I first heard "Whites Only Fountain" with Ben Hill from the light booth at The Theatre of the Arts Arena Stage at the inaugural Fringe Festival in 2010, and I've made an effort to see every LMR show I can since then. Million Dollar Hair departs from the crew's usual format, but this incarnation provides a bevy of new, eccentric and fun characters for the Lost Moon universe, as well as bringing back a few old favorites. Lauren Flans once again demonstr... full review
