Show: Nixon Shows Gleason a U.F.O.
Venue: Strike Theater
An absurd, chaotic romp
Clocking in at approximately 40 minutes, Nixon Shows Gleason a U.F.O delights in filling every moment with irreverent charm. The laughs come fast and often thanks to a script that basks in the absurdity of the titular urban legend and the strong performances from the entire cast. This isn’t a show that will leave you pondering the philosophical, but if you embrace and enjoy the chaos it will keep you thoroughly entertained from start to finish.

Show: Grief, It's What's For Dinner
Venue: Open Eye Theatre
A seriously good and funny play
Grief it’s what’s for dinner is a beautifully written show brought to life through lively performances by the entire cast. A semi-autobiographical story written, directed and starring Kayla Hambek, the show uses humor to tackle the grief that can exist long before and after death. Puppets are used to bring a number of characters to life, including our protagonist’s inner voice, helping externalize many of the internal struggles she endures. The show is consistently funny, emotionally true, and even heartwarming - thanks in no small part to the obvious camaraderie on display by the cast. If you’re hungry for a show that’ll make you laugh and cry, grief is what’s for dinner.

Show: Against My Will
Venue: Rarig Nolte Xperimental Theatre
See this show willingly
Against My Will is a phenomenal one man show written, produced and brought to life through a charming, funny and vulnerable performance by Michael Quadrozzi. This show is Fringe at its best, giving a talented artist a venue to experiment in a new format they otherwise wouldn’t be able to engage in. A veteran of twin cities theater, Quadrozzi shows off his skill as a storyteller with a script that expertly balances humor and the often tragic forces that shaped his life. The show is consistently engaging and gives you a crystal clear snapshot of the inner workings of the man on stage - no small feat given the tight 55 minute runtime. Definitely a must see, and one you should go to out of your own will.
