(Reminder: There are no encore slots this year for the best-selling
show in each venue. So there is no extra final chance to catch a
popular show at the end of the Fringe schedule. Once they're gone,
they're gone, so catch the good shows and/or shows you're really
interested in before they disappear)
Fringe Orphans 4: Back in the Habit - Navel Gaze Productions - Theatre in the Round Players
tweet review -
show 3 - Fringe Orphans 4 - be prepared for unicorn sex; be prepared to
be asked to facilitate unicorn sex; and a 3-legged chair; and the feds
cracking down on a girl's lemonade stand, and more - 3 stars -
(CLOSED)

Home - Michael Venske - Strike Theater
tweet review -
show 41 - Home - one-person show which was strangely unspecific about
his time both in MN and in China; could've used more detail like that
section of the old dining room wallpaper where the audience could feel
the velvet - 3 stars -
(FINAL SHOW (TONIGHT) - Sun 8/12 5:30pm)
Theory of Relativity - Theory of Dance - Ritz Studio
show 31, part 2 - Theory of Relativity - the opening number was
enchanting, then the rest of the show happened; nothing wrong with the
dancers; unfortunate music choices; unfocused, repetitive choreography;
weirdly passive use of audience participation - 3 stars -
(FINAL SHOW (TODAY) - Sun 8/12 1pm)

There Goes the Gayborhood - Libra Moon Productions - Strike Theater
tweet review -
show 21 - There Goes The Gayborhood - the script seems like it could be
genuinely hilarious, and the cast seems like they could deliver a
better show, they just really needed a stronger director for that show
to happen - 3 stars -
(FINAL SHOW (TODAY) - Sun 8/12 2:30pm)

Titus: Sweet Water, Silent Walks - The BAND Group - Rarig Thrust
tweet review -
show 37 - Titus: Sweet Water, Silent Walks - strong aesthetic choices,
but fair warning, they spend an awful lot of time beating, raping and
maiming Lavinia, and then doing it all again in interpretive dance later
so... there's that - 3 stars -
(FINAL SHOW (TONIGHT) - Sun 8/12 8:30pm)
Writing Wrongs in a Sandcastle - Witchy Beach - Minnsky Theatre
tweet review -
show 24 - Writing Wrongs In A Sandcastle - well, it looked like they
were having fun; the strange tale of a writer, an editor, a not quite
shipwreck, and a handpuppet dolphin named Trixie with blond hair and
pearls - 3 stars -
(CLOSED)
