2023 Audience Reviews

Company: Hercules Theatre Company
Show: Adaptopus
Venue: Augsburg Mainstage

5/5 Octopi

Adaptopus by Christine Pietz Stoffel is a fanstastic way to spend an hour of your time. Christine has crafted a hilarious script with distinct characters and laugh out loud moments. Tinka was commanding as The Senator. Jonathan Fondell, Michael Salazar, and Brad Krieger had standout performances to me, although the entire cast impressed me, worked together well, and made me laugh big-time. I could’ve watched this show for hours and hours!

Worth Your Time

If EnCompass Theatre isn’t a household Fringe name to you already, it will be soon. Casey Marie Holmes found a unique script that tackles the very real possibility of abortion access (or lack thereof) across the country. It’s laced with both humor and fear, and Olivia and Stephanie have incredible chemistry as the two best friends in this script. I enjoyed the believable performances from both of these strong actors. You won’t regret checking this one out!
