Show: Artificial

Not artificial, just intelligent
Great script, wonderful acting by Athena and leaves you thinking afterwards.
Company: CSOC Company, LLC
Show: Blood Guilt
Venue: Ritz Theater Studio
Packs a punch
Unfolds slowly and gradually uncovers tragedy that is eerily prescient of what's happening right now. Wonderful script, pacing and acting.
Company: Haute Dish Productions
Show: Chisago: The Musical
Venue: Rarig Center Thrust
Razzle Dazzle 'em!
Any show with a singing, dancing Paul Bunyan is OK with me.
Company: Monster Science Productions
Show: How To Come Back From The Dead
Venue: Mixed Blood Theatre
Coming soon to a tomb on Nicollet Avenue
More fun than a barrel of zombies. Able to leap vampires at a single bound.

A couple of super singers are the highlight of this faithful parody.

Great combination of music, dance and spoken word covering a little known story from the Beat Generation.
Company: Bellydonna Dance Company
Show: The Wizard of Oz Bellydance Show
Venue: Ritz Theater Mainstage
Spectacular
My favorite fringe show this year. Costumes are spectacular, the dancing is wonderful, and you get a chance to see a familiar story presented in a way that feels like watching it for the very first time.

Company: Amie Durenberger
Show: Can I Borrow Your Poop?

Making lemonade
Amie takes a crappy (!) situation and makes comedic gold. I hope she gets her literal shit together much as she's done with her figurative shit.

Show: Nerd Rage! The Great Debates
Venue: Crane Theater
Goofy fun
I'll be checking out their podcast....
Company: EnCompass Theatre
Show: R Culture
Venue: Strike Theater
Big topic under the big top
I wish we didn't need shows like this... but we do. The circus is the perfect backdrop for the topic and presenting the women as clowns perfectly capture the battle between the face we present to the world versus what's roiling beneath the surface.
Company: The Provettes
Show: The Provettes
Venue: Crane Theater
Crazy fun energy
I gotta say, I've never seen improv dance, but I'm hooked! Will be watching for these gals around town in the future.

Surprising
Life is innocent and silly. Until it's not.
Company: Michael Rogers

Packs an emotional punch I had not expected. Demonstrates that music sustains and connects us when we most and when we least expect it.

What everyone else said. You better go.

Company: MDK Productions

Fun frolic
Goofy radio style serial drama crossed with a Fringe female version of Indiana Jones in space.
Company: That's Enough Drama
Show: A Tension To Detail: Gerard Harris
Venue: Ritz Theater Mainstage
Just try to keep up!
If you see a shooting star, it's best to try to lasso it and go along for the ride. A crazy trip through the psyche of a manic storyteller.
Company: Partizan Theater
Show: Backstory
Venue: Rarig Center Thrust
Great acting
WONDERFULLY acted, captivating, beautifully written and paced. Left me wanting more.
Company: Sam Kruger
Show: Fool Muun Komming! [BeBgWunderful/YEsyes/4sure.Hi5. TruLuv;Spank Spank:SOfun_Grate_Times]

We took a space ride on a hallucination and loved every minute of it.
Company: The Theatre Cosmic
Show: Stuck in an Elevator with Patrick Stewart II: The Wrath of Fandom
Venue: Rarig Center Arena
Uneven
Juxtaposition of the two sets of characters didn't work for me. Some strong acting by Bedard (fan dude) and Calger (Patrick Stewart)
