Venue: The Southern Theatre
Extraordinary
I have admired Andrew Erskine Wheeler as a performer since seeing “Whoosh!” at the Mill City Museum. This production is another incredible journey by an actor at the top of his craft: vulnerable, deliberate, expressive, with every action clear and every thought precise. We hate Custer, (at his own urging), we pity him, we laugh with him, we cry with him. All while the show also manages to be urgently topical, interrogatory of the audience, and heartbreaking. Wheeler brings bravery, honesty, and integrity to every moment. I can’t wait to see what he does next.

Winding Sheet Is Why I Come To Fringe
When I excitedly take a seat for a production created by this extraordinary company of artists and performers, I know several things before the show begins: I’m going to learn something, I’m going to see and feel deeply expressed emotions, and I’m going to feel REVERENCE for both subject matter and craft on display. Once again I am enchanted by this company’s work. I have rarely seen such beautiful, deliberate, authentic performances by an entire ensemble. Every aspect of the production has INTENT that is brave and clear and expansive. Plus, this show features some cheeky meta-aspects a little new to their shows, which was both thematic and delightful. I can’t say enough about Winding Sheet. Don’t miss anything they do!
Company: Third Space Theater
Show: Breach
Venue: Theatre in the Round
Be Sure To Catch This Show!
A fun, well-made, unique, and AMBITIOUS show in every way! The ensemble does an incredible job presenting characters and relationships quickly in their motley crew, helped by solid direction, movement, costumes, and overall design. The TRP space became eerie, atmospheric, haunted, and scary, with extremely effective lighting design and use of flashlights and other lights onstage. This is a huge achievement for Third Space, with choreography, design, and performances all moving an exciting human-fueled drama briskly along. I had a blast in this show and was surprised the whole way. Plus, as has been said, there’s a puppet. What more could you want?
