What a great story, and now they are going back to Alberta. That was just some good old-fashioned theatre, and if you saw it you don't need to hear it from me, and if you didn't see it shame on you.

Winding Down?

Submitted by ryanprice on Sat, 05/27/2006 - 04:27

For all my lofty statements about wanting to see a little of everything, I fell victim to peer pressure and saw the show all my friends were going to - TJ Dawe's. Now I love him, and his show is fantastic, but I feel a little down for not going to see one of the other dozens of shows.

If you didn't see the audio interview with TJ Dawe - why not? it is very easy to download and listen to. I even took the 2:45 that I cut and made a little clip - because there is some entertaining stuff in there, but it does not serve the interview.

UPDATE: 5/26/2006

Last night, while I hung out with Katharine at the WHiRR booth (where we got fresh with Boris the Robot), Ryan made out with TJ Dawe in the grass between the two main theatres.

He even pointed out where their buttprints were. Amazing.

More details later. Suffice to say, we are all jealous of Ryan. Very much so. I love my boyfriend, but I wouldn't say no to making out with TJ Dawe. I get to FINALLY see his show tonight, for which I am extremely excited.

The Frogs and the Caterpillar

Submitted by Chaya on Thu, 05/25/2006 - 13:39

I hung up the phone and sat down on my computer to google "Orlando Fringe". I couldn't help but ask myself what I'd just agreed to attend. Intriguing, yes, but a website with pictures of men in drag and promises of being "100% uncensored" made clear to me that the possibilities were wide open. Its very name--Fringe--at once captured flamboyancy, mystery, and a sense of being on the outskirts of societal norms. Off I drove to meet my friend and see "Serious Theatre".

Show: Serious Theatre
Venue: Green Venue (Tupperware Theatre at Orlando Repertory Theatre)
Times: May 21 - 3:25pm; ~~May 22 - 9:20pm~~; May 23 - 11:15pm; May 25 - 7:40pm; May 26 - 6:05pm; May 27 - 3:25pm; May 28 - 12:00pm
Tickets: $8
Rating: PG-13, unless you don't mind your child being exposed to mild swearing and sexual suggestion, and are prepared to answer the question, "Daddy, what is a 'vagina' and why is it dancing?"
Recommended for: anyone wanting comedic relief. Very recommended.

Hence asks a character in the ensemble comedy Misleading Perceptions. Someone would probably ask this of me, as a "critic", of shows that are meant to be "100% unjuried". I suppose my response to this would be that those who are not judged by any academy must be judged by their peers - and that criticism can be far harsher (I should know).

Regardless, I return with a second (and hopefully less drama-inciting) review.

Show: Misleading Perceptions
Venue: Green Venue (Tupperware Theatre at Orlando Repertory Theatre)
Times: 5/20 @ 10:50pm, 5/21 @ 9:40, 5/22 @ 11:00pm, 5/23 @ 7:40, ~~5/24 @ 9:45~~, 5/27 @ 9:30
