Serious Story, Told with Humor and Movement
The staging of this show was unique in a good way. The integration of movement was refreshing and a nice pause between each "segment" of the story. Surprisingly funny given the overall nature of the story, but still gives you an appreciation for what Jennie and her family were going thru.

Show: Daddy Issues
Venue: Phoenix Theater
Rule #1: Always See Anything With Allison
Allison is one of the artists I *ALWAYS* seek out at Fringe. She makes everything amazing. As other reviews have said so eloquently, she takes this difficult and very personal story and still manages to make us laugh. I had some of the same challenge with my mother and I love that she includes resources in case you find yourself dealing with these types of issues.
Company: Alex Stokes / Sky Blue Productions
Show: Hugo and Maeve Join A Cult!
Venue: Bryant Lake Bowl
Cults Are Fun!
If cults are this fun, I wanna join one. These two actors are fantastic together. The absurdity and the silliness is perfectly Fringe. I'm definitely can't wait to see more from these two in the future.
Company: Broom Vroom Street Blartists
Show: Paul Blart 3: Blart of Darkness
Venue: Strike Theater
Fringy Goodness
This show is why I love FringeFest. Silly parody, great pop culture references and campy fun. While I have never seen any of the Paul Blart movies I know the general premise of him being a mall cop and that's really all that is necessary to dive into this "sequel".
Company: Jamie Brickhouse
Show: I Favor My Daddy: A Tale of Two Sissies
Venue: Open Eye Theatre
Nothing More to Add
Other reviewers have said it better than I can. This show was fantastic. Jamie is an amazing storyteller and his delivery is perfection.
Company: The World Crime League
Show: We Were Only Henchmen
Venue: Open Eye Theatre
It's a Living
A fun romp about the trials and tribulations of being a henchman. The complaints about the various villains was definitely the highlight of the show.
Company: Paper Soul
Show: Anti.Hero
Venue: HUGE Improv Theater
Rhythms with Floats
Motz is a great storyteller and has fantastic stage presence. I did not see his first show in this trilogy, but really enjoyed last year's NPC and this was a nice addition to the theme, but fear not if you have not seen either of the prior shows as the overall content of the show is not dependent on familiarity with the earlier shows. Motz is on my list of artists to search out each Fringe season whether doing a solo show or part of a cast of something amazing.
