Smart, Thought Provoking, and Witty
Tiffany is an a strong performer and a great storyteller. The production quality was exceptional and clearly everyone that helped designed this show cared about their craft. The plot had substance, and challenges the audience to explore social norms we put on others when we don't know them. I hope everyone will be able to take something away from this show. Do yourself a favor and check this show out!
Company: Special When Lit
Show: Bury The Leads
Venue: Mixed Blood
Clyde and Fay entrat
This was my first time seeing Bury the Leads and it did not disappoint. Sam and Nissa have cultivated a brillant show that's leaves me wanting more. The plot was relatable, easy to follow, and fast paced. Multimedia, sound, and props are used perfectly without slowing the story down. If you're an actor, or not, I feel that everyone will be able to relate to this show. Highly recommend!

Oil, Greed, and a strong cast
Third Space Theatre continuly surprises me with their productions at Fringe. Movement and sound were exceptional. Scene changes didn't drag. The actors physicality from creating the rigs, to creating beautiful stage pictures flowed with ease. Ben and Mariabella are strong actors and play off each other well. Em's storytelling ability is a dream to watch on stage. The ensemble clearly trust each other and handled intense moments with care. This show was co-written and I would love to see this as a full production. Some moments felt rushed and a few plot points felt unfinished. The script has great characters and some had little/no arch through out the show. The play invites the audience to see what happens to families trying to stay afloat and how far people are willing to go to protect what they have left. It left me thinking about the show long after and I hope you add this to your list!

An honest look into the life of a runner
I love going to solo shows for multiple reasons and Eileen's show is a must see. She's a complexing storyteller and she keeps everyone engaged from the start. The show was mixed with comedy, sad, and downright wrongful moments that she had to endure. As a curvy girl myself, I love hearing about how hard it is to find space to workout in where you feel accepted. So the stories involved around group 5 training was my favorite.

Historical Drama still relevant today
Queer stories should always be shared. This drama is witty, fast paced, and at moments intense. The playwright did a wonderful job of writing a historical drama that also makes you think. The show is also well acted, and everyone using the space well. Come to the show, learn something from it, and never stop telling queer stories.
