Show: I FOUND ME
Venue: Southern Theater
Beautiful concept and a lot of talent.
This show is one that takes you through a whole range emotions, but the simplistic message rings true. I did find myself trying to interpret too details to be narrative, when sometimes I think the dancers just wanted you to take in the raw emotion of the dance and take in the bigger picture! These ladies danced their hearts out. There was not a dancer that did not put their whole being into the dance. I longed for the narrator to speak a little more and a little louder. I think the piece could have been condensed a bit as I found myself searching for the ending sooner than it came I also longed for the pacing of the dance to be flowing with the music, there we points that the dancers were dancing through silence...not sure it was supposed to be a statement or for the music to never stop. The message of hope and light was beautiful, I would recommend this if you're looking for a dance show that draws out raw emotion, as i did leave with a tear or two in my eye, because the story brought me to hope. Thanks Pappafully Designed for this beautiful work!

Clever.
I actually found myself at this show due to knowing an old friend connected to the show. I wasn't expecting this kind of show from that friend. That being said, I liked the main concept of the show and the ending was so real to life. But I'll be honest and say I didn't care for some of the crude material in it, but I think this show is clever. It definitely makes you think. The two main plot twists were quite fetching and drew you in. The pacing was a bit slow and I wasn't rooting for the main character, but that may have been the point. Go see their last performance, they put some good work in.
Company: The Skyline Collective
Show: Wasn't This Supposed to Be a Musical?
Venue: Ritz Theater Mainstage
Delightfully Awkward
This show captures the essence of most post college graduates situations. I loved the realness in it. It had it's moments of real life awkward that make you cringe as an audience member, but I honestly think that's why I liked it so much. I did find myself wanting them to speak more and sing not as much...felt a bit operetta-ish. The premise of this show is great for this day and age. The music combo was flawless. The singers/actors were great! I just really longed for a song to get stuck in my head and none of them did. But I think this is exactly why fringe exists, to fine tune brilliant ideas such as this! Worth seeing the last show for sure!!
