5:30pm - Youngblood in the Desert/Gateway Drug - OverLaugh Productions - Rarig Arena
tweet review -
show 33 - Youngblood In The Desert / The Gateway Drug - 2 actors, 2
one-act plays about 2 guys lost in the world who find each other (in a
non-homoerotic sort of way) - once in the Crusades, once in small town
America, both well-written and well-acted - 5 stars
7pm - Gay Hot American Summer - GIRL Theatre - Rarig Arena
tweet review -
show 34 - Gay Hot American Summer - I wanted to like this one more than
I ultimately did; it was certainly gay, well done, and awfully cute,
but it kind of refused to end after it ran out of reasons to keep going -
4 stars
8:30pm - Self-Titled Debut Album - Philip Simondet - Mixed Blood
tweet review -
show 35 - Self-Titled Debut Album - such a deceptively simple gimmick:
each song gives us character, plot, spotlights a different part of the
band; the songs are so damn clever (and meta, but not annoying - bonus);
delivers on its promise in a big way - 5 stars
10pm - Part Of Me - Imagined Theatre - Southern
tweet review -
show 36 - A Part Of Me - super solid musical in a Fringe-sized package;
integrates then elevates music; book, lyrics and music really work
together; impressive cast, strong voices; also about something (organ
donation) w/out hitting you over the head - 5 stars
