Ren Fest & Fringe Fest UNITE
Dynamic Voices and exceptional use of lighting and costumes. The unique songs were Laugh Out Long Funny and I felt like the character backstory showed through more than just music- it went down to body language with is iconic. Had a little volume issue in the opening. Felt like the music was a little too loud for actors to not be using mics and I sat in the front.

It's Funny like.. you know the rest
AMAZING. TIMELY. FUNNY. BEAUTIFUL. It felt like I was their friend in a weird way. The way they interacted with each other felt so genuine that I had no problem pulling myself in. The ending was especially heartbreaking yet empowering. My only critique was the breaking of the 4th wall at the beginning but I totally understand why it was necessary. A must see...see it twice
Company: The World Crime League
Show: Uncle Walt
Venue: Augsburg Mainstage
Uncle Walt Shined but I needed more
I loved the concept of the show but it was somehow the portrayal of the two siblings felt over and under-acted at the same. One's vocal expression sounded like a theatre kid trying so hard to project that the inflection/emotion was off. While the other felt like using 'language' was the only way to get his persona across. I just wish those two characters were developed a little more. Jeffery Goodson as WALT however was spectacular!! From the look, facial expression and flawless monologues.

Engaging Love Story
loved the side by side storytelling- the actors were able to pull in the audience and give a sense to time and change through wardrobe
Company: Madde Gibba
Show: Boy Crazy
Venue: Rarig Center Arena
Relationship Challenged Girls UNITE
If you've been on a dating app, been on a date, or had a breakup in the past 3 years this show is for you. Maddie's musical comedy combines hilarious audience interaction, one woman reenactments, and a dynamic alto singing voice. The show is laugh-out-loud funny. Its face palm cringe because of its relatability. The performer is vulnerable and genuine. A MUST SEE!

Silly & Oddly Relatable
Unfortunately, I was never a supernatural-obsessed girly but I saw them at previews and wanted to show up for the opening song alone. It's a unique story line and nostalgic aspects and humorous scenes. I would recommend if you liked or hated summer camp, remember the hardships or growing up or love 4th wall-breaking narrators.
