Company: Rippling Stories
Show: Against the Odds: Rachel Carson and the Writing of Silent Spring
Venue: Augsburg Studio
Exquisitely Compelling
Fringe shows are often merely mindless fun, which is mostly a good thing and something I enjoy, but every season I look for one or two shows that exercise my brain as well as my funny bone. This year that brain exercising show is this show. Katie Knutson is a highly skilled storyteller and social activist who brings often overlooked author and brilliant environmentalist Rachel Carson back to life in an exquisite piece of theater. The show has no loud noise, no gut busting laughter, no sex or drugs but what it does have is the story of a brave woman who, while dying of breast cancer, opened the world's eyes to the peril of DDT and other forever chemicals. I loved every minute of the show.
Company: Kurkendaal Barrett Presentations
Show: Climbing my family tree
Venue: Rarig Center Thrust
Riveting
I never miss a Les show; he’s a gifted storyteller/solo performer and his newest show is up to his high standards. This was a riveting show that opened doors for me in places in my heart. Only suggestion, as another reviewer said, project the photos on a screen to help the audience keep everything straight. See it before Les heads back to LA.
Company: Destiny Davison
Show: DOLLY WHO?
Venue: Rarig Center Xperimental
Damn Good Show
I went to see Dolly knowing almost nothing about the show or the performer. but decided heck, it’s Fringe, so take a chance. The hour went by so quickly I was stunned. Dolly Davison could read the encyclopedia on stage and I’d be thoroughly entertained. Some performers have that thing that just glows on stage. Dolly has it in spades. Whatever you do, add Dolly to your must see list. Now!
