Interesting Family, Parenting Tale
Great peek into one man's journey with his bright but precocious daughter with context from his family of origin. Crisp delivery and quips kept my attention as I eagerly awaited the answer to the question "what happened/where is she now?"
Company: Fat Theatre Project
Show: Too Fat To Run
Venue: Open Eye Theatre
Running Fun
Eileen shares with us her marathon training story, sprinkling in some body perception, family dynamics/history and exercising culture tidbits for context and to humorous effect. With a great script and fantastic delivery/expressions, her performance was super tight and well worth the trek to Open Eye to catch it.
Company: Mosaic Productions
Show: ANNA
Venue: Theatre in the Round
Outstanding Acting
Seems odd to relay how a tragic drama can be a palate cleanser at the Fringe, but this fits the bill. The script, with its serious subject matter and executed to near perfection, is the perfect show to catch to provide balance amidst a schedule that includes fun improv or typical Fringe camp performances.

Venue: Mixed Blood
Big Stage, Excellent Voice
Performing solo in this venue can be challenging and Emma made the most of the stage, front row aisle and rear stairs. She was expressive and brought high energy but the material, while entertaining, became predictable as the show progressed.
Company: Special When Lit
Show: Bury The Leads
Venue: Mixed Blood
So good, you'd think it was scripted
Talented duo in full force, 100% committed to their characters. Expressive with so much raw honesty in their observations, you can't helpbut relate and laugh.
Company: Jeffries & Brown
Show: Braingystics: Seize the Mind!
Venue: Open Eye Theatre
Brain = Blown
Nonstop energy and chemistry enables this duo to perform "at the highest possible level." Impeccable timing and original material will have you laughing but NOT thinking. (Attend, perceive and believe!)
Company: Jason Schommer
Show: 1985: Relative Chaos!
Venue: Strike Theater
Worth the trip
You can get to Strike following a full length Fringe show on the West Bank. Jasons show is worth the trip. Heartfelt and funny. With music.

Show: Silent Movie!
Venue: Barbara Barker Center for Dance
No words
Amazing how a troupe can be so talented and completely dialed in... it enabled them to create a cohesive & engaging show on the spot. Follow their cues and bring your imagination. Before the show begins, get your 3D glasses for a $2 donation from the stage for the cast/credits video.

Tales Told
Relatable slice of life stories (on occasion relayed with a scream style/at volume) with a musical finale.

ERA -- Extra, Real + Artistry
Kudos to the creators for a show that educated and inspired. Well-designed and executed. It was a pleasure to attend this rally!

Show: Machinal
Venue: The Southern Theater
Abstract.
Tight, well-rehearsed cast with captivating sequences. Not your typical Fringe show -- imagine a play as performance art with choreography + some spoken word.
Company: Sockpop
Show: 1 Hour Left to Live: A One Puppet Show by That Felt Good
Venue: The Southern Theater
Fast-paced improv w/ PUPPET
Talented crew delivered a riotous series of quick vignettes within a framework of the puppet's life in review before passing and in the afterlife. Standouts included the priest, puppeteer, and stand up comic.
Company: Levani
Show: A Magician
Venue: Open Eye Theatre
Ta da!
A nice mix of slight of hand, mind reading + personal history.
Company: Rainsview Creative
Show: Ready Player, Too
Venue: Open Eye Theatre
Game on!
High energy and heartfelt storytelling from a first-time Fringe performer. The inaugural show was clearly attended by many friends and family but the standing O was earned. Lily for the win.
Company: Ari Hoptman
Show: Is That Why?
Venue: American School of Storytelling
Words' Origin Stories (with punchlines)
Having cue/queue :) cards pulled by George (audience member) determined which phrase or topic Ari highlighted next, adding a nice bit of spontaneity to the show. He knows his stuff and it's a fun listen and learn.
Company: RAR Entertainment
Show: Too Much of a Good Thing
Venue: Open Eye Theatre
High Energy Boob Talk
Very interesting personal telling of performer's relationship to her breasts including the journey of going from an "H" to a "D." Well-endowed with video and a few costume changes.
