All too familiar
I only got to see three shows this year, and I am SO glad that I put "The Wind Phone" on the list! Sure, it had two of my wonderful theater friends in it (which is the only reason I see ANY show that I do, normally), but it is also so very vibrantly and beautifully relatable! It's a series of vignettes that actually circle back around to one another, and each tells a tale of grief, for loss of a loved one, and, no, that loved one doesn't always have to be human. Despite the gorgeous outdoor weather, I was immersed in each tale, the first one definitely sounded too familiar. So thankful for the cast, crew and producers for bringing this one to Fringe!

Challlenging, well-done, and a LOT of fun!
What starts off a little stale and clunky, quickly crescendos into a rollicking and hysterical time! What I personally love about this adaptation is that every character, except the performers, has a very challenging story arc, which is incredibly difficult to achieve in an hour! The cast plays fantastically off one another, and the performances will roust you out of your seat! A thoroughly entertaining show not-to-be-missed!

Eclectic and Vulnerable
I thoroughly enjoyed this variety show, where six performers bring original work, or work that speaks very near and dear to them, each night with a different theme. I would maybe suggest in the future that all the shows be the same theme, that way audience members are treated to the same show each time, but I admire the strengths of the performers, and the vulnerability to showcase their talents in this style!
