STUNNING!
This show does everything right. From the moment you walk into the shadowy, slightly claustophobic theater you start to feel dread, a dread driven by a dark and atmospheric live score. With smart writing (the best script I've seen at Fringe this year so far), razor sharp acting, and clever use of the entire space, this show asks you to really think about the two child charcters, and to think about the real children in the real story. As a fan of creepypastas and all thing cryptid, I had high hopes going in. Those hope were exceded. Do yourself a favor and SEE THIS SHOW! It is lightening in a bottle and you should not miss this amazing show.

Excellent Storytelling
I had not seen the previous show in this series, and it didn't matter. I wasn't sure what to expect going in, but I got my money's worth and then some. I had never seen Motz perform before, but I will be looking for him in the future. Funny, clever and vulnerable, this show is a gem.

Can't Miss Humor
Rev. Matt is always fun, but her turns the humor up to new levels and Elora Riley as his assistant plays off him beautifully. Easy, breezy humor woth a little bit of a bite. Go See this show.
Company: Snikt! Bamf!Thwip!
Show: John Wick by Tim Wick (no relation)
Venue: Theatre in the Round
DO NOT MISS THIS
What I really loved about this show - beyond the humor and madcap enegy brought by the fantastic cast - was Tim Wick's deconstraction of the series. Tim gets to the heart of it all, exploring the expection on John Wick, both in the movie universe and as the audience. Also, totally bitchin' rave scene that should not be missed.
