Thanks for the praise . . . and thanks for seeing the show (Cupid and Psyche)! We're having a great time!

I went to the show on sunday for one purpose. my friend derek invited me. Im so proud of him, i know i could never get up on stage and get totally naked for anyone so i give him made props. I thought the show was done very tastefully. Everyone should come out and support derek and everyone else in the cast.

Imagine a love story with a sweet beginning, a rough climax and a... well, they don't really tell it in order. In 52 Pick-Up, we get such a story written by TJ Dawe and Rita Bozi, where each consecutive scene is chosen at random from a deck of cards.

This show takes scenes ranging from 5 seconds to a few minutes, each containing observations and situations from a relationship and writes the name of each on a card from a standard deck. The performers then throw the cards in the air and pick them up one by one, performing each scene in whatever order they are read. You don't really take any more time to get used to these characters than you would in a normal play, and despite the inherent lack of an arc, there are a few scenes with the ability to bring tears (but maybe I just feel like crying when I see someone doing it).

The Green!

What a WONDERFUL surprise! These guys are hilarious!! It is wonderful to see intelligent comedy that makes you think as well as laugh! Cool getting a glimpse of things through the eyes of other ethnic groups...without beating you over the head wiith it!

If you haven't gotten a chance to see this, you really should! I was very surprised at the number of different skits and characters this troupe portrayed...and the really fast, smooth scene changes in between segments!! That was great to see...not sitting in the dark wondering what is going on....

Great show for anybody that wants to laugh, and maybe learn a little about different cultures, and how those from other countries view America. It's a wonderful thing!!

Congratulations, Drew!! It is not often the first production of n original work has this much success!! Great going!! Looking forward to "BTBA 2"!!!

Seen on the Six Characters blog:
""Found and Lost" by the inFluxdance company. These gals rock. They not only burst with energy and individual, vibrant personalities but we found their show completely engrossing. At times comical and at times emotional, there was even a sniffle or two coming from our crew by the end. They're also the nicest, coolest bunch of people we've met so far at the Fringe. We want to take them home with us."

One person told me that the number of characters in the play gets confusing - I don't agree, but maybe her comment prepared me for the changes. i think the costuming cues really help. Keep up the good work, guys!

It's gym class time! The wildly successful Slastic sports crew returns from last year's Fringe, Adding new team member Heather Leonardi. Slastic supplies any sporting gear you might want, but they've got competition nipping at their heels, like Oiu Oiu Wear and Sporto Gigante. As you enter, there's a high energy warm up with beach balls and pumping music, and they succeed in keeping that energy going through the long and by now boring preshow announce. There's precious little dialog here, and none is really needed in this parody of the sporting world. All the major ESPN time fillers are here - baseball pitchers battles, home town friendly sportscasters, whiney versions of the National Anthem, and obscure European sports than no one gets like Soccer or Futbol or World's Strongest Man competitions.

The funniest moments come from wispy Brandon Roberts, because it's always funny to pick on the little guy until he gets to be the bull chasing Jason Horne thought every other scene. There's a boxing match where Heather Leonardi takes on Patrick Braillard, and he decks her, drawing an uncomfortable gasp form the audience. Late in the show we discover the Quidditch Ballet, which took me a few minutes to figure out as I know less about Harry Potter than hockey. No matter what the sport, the message is constant - you need the right trendy gear to get the most out of your exercise experience. And looking good is more important than feeling good.

Not what I was expecting at all! I thought it would be one guy with a laptop - I think some production stills might help us get that. Much love to all the actors and the writers!

Shocking, funny, and cerebral!

So cute and very well performed!
