Life is Strange
I have been mulling over what I wanted to say about this show. And I still not sure if this is correct. Trauma exists in many forms, and that's what this show is exploring. We all wish we could undo something, whether trivial or life changing. The ensemble does a wonderful job of manifesting that trauma through physical theater. The music also supports this. Though, I felt like we were thrust into Act 2 of this show right at the start (in a good way), because I was clamouring for more information about the main characters present life before they met up with their past self (and vice versa). I wanted more.

Excellent Show
Motz's ability to create real, believable characters is unmatched by anyone I have ever seen. The script does a great job of subtly getting you to understand the nature and behaviors of this specific type of person without going over the top or becoming parody. Motz brings him to life and is reinforced by the excellent sound design and direction by Shalee Coleman. While the show is not traditionally scary, it shows a great reflection of male dating culture, and the toxicity of specific men within it.

Top Quality Theater
This show is by far one of the most professional shows I have seen at Fringe. The acting, directing, script, just everything is superb. I could go on and on about how great this show is, but you should just see it for yourself.
Company: HFS
Show: Wonder and Awe: A Play About Magic
Venue: Mixed Blood Theatre
Magical
The opening scene of this show alone is worth the ticket. It sets up the show perfectly of what to expect (or unexpect!) This is a high energy comedy that even if you miss a joke, there is another one around the corner. The ensemble is perfectly in sync and a joy to watch. Definitely worth your time.
