Politics
Great history of a great politician/pacifist/feminist. Well written. Needed zip/energy.
Company: Sheep Theater
Show: Kaboom
Venue: Rarig Center Thrust
seriously
Making fun of our current existential tragedy! God and the military know where drumpf's fallout shelter is (not in the play): he who does dumb things, scary, stupid things is there. Slapstick ensues. Best watched from under your desk.
Company: Jamie Shriner Tells Stories
Show: Wife Material
Venue: Augsburg Studio
sex positive
A slip is the perfect costuming for a sex positive musical review of one's too short sex life. This is a sweet sharing of a young woman's budding sexuality. I wonder what her performance will be in future decades. Not to be missed.
Company: Navel Gaze Productions
Show: Fringe Orphans 4: Back in the Habit
Venue: Theatre in the Round
Bad
This show was people running around the set, mostly making noise. Poorly conceived, how can actors act well when the skits are so meaninglessly dumb? A few good shows might wash it out of your mind.
Company: The Young Company
Show: How to Fix It
Venue: Rarig Center Arena
Potential depth
This show raised potentially meaningful questions about forgiveness and apologizing. Too often the potential was wasted by reverting to game behaviors rather than further exploring the thread of thought. It does leave you with something to think about; a step up from the fringe skits.
Company: Quasimondo Physical Theatre
Show: Mrs. Wrights
Venue: Rarig Center Xperimental
Best
This was the best show I've seen at the fringe in many years (700 shows). Seriously, it was so creative, so beautiful, so deep. It blows away all the meaningless, poorly scripted, mindlessness that trys to pass for fringiness. Thank you for presenting beauty so intensely.
