My 1st Les show!!!
I’ve Fringed in another city for over a decade and always seek out storyteller based pieces, but had no prior knowledge of Les. Of the shows I’ve seen this year, this was the most JOYFUL. Les’ gifted storytelling with his amazing family findings had me enthralled and wanting more. And honestly, I feel we need to recognize Les as the nobility he is!! Hoping to catch this again before the fest ends!

The most important show of the season.
We all love some good, silly entertainment when we Fringe- but this is the most important, and most expertly performed, show of the season. I was thrilled to see 1/2 of my small audience was men, and challenge the men of our community to go! I TRULY hope to see this production grow, tour, and be recognized as it deserves. This is the most important work I’ve seen this year, and it deserves everyone’s attention.

For anyone who knew R&J were rash in High School…
One of the best of the Fringe! I’m surprised I’ve never wondered what might have happened to R&J if they hadn’t committed suicide (sorry for the spoiler), but I didn’t expect such a heartfelt, poignant, and funny story that is also set in verse! The performances, staging, and simple costumes are exceptional. A must see if you’re heading into the Rarig!
