FRINGE FILE #4: Reviews, Pt. 1 Arts Comedy Dance Music Theatre by Twin Cities Arts Reader - August 4, 2024August 4, 2024 According to the Minnesota Fringe Festival, today’s sell-out risk is: 5 x 5 by Transatlantic Love Affair @ 5:30 p.m. (Open Eye Theatre) 5 x 5 (Transatlantic Love Affair) Literally compact, beautifully flowing, this set of five miniatures tells uses TLA’s trademark style where actors become not just the cast, but also scenery, props, and sound artists. Like no other show, in all the best ways. Strong Recommendation: Buy in advance. Defibrillator (Justice Theatre Consortium) A nuanced journey down the rabbit hole of an unexpected cardiac arrest, told through an engrossing mix of dance, dialogue, and puppetry. Creative, imaginative, educational. Good Ones (Shambles Theatre Company) Comedy with an edge (or three)! This irreverant comedic masterpiece is filled to the gills with energy, biting satire, and just enough wackiness to keep you thinking, “Did they really just…?” A Horse Walks Out Onto the Stage and Dies (Theatre On The Rocks) A tour de force of comedy with a grounded edge that hits you in the feels. The title does not do justice to the experience of being bowled over by this show. Transition: A Story of Two Trans People Becoming Themselves (Emily Boyajian) What do you learn about yourself while coming out as trans? This is just one of the questions explored in this moving show, which happens to also pull in audiences through the melodic strains of live, original vocal music and a 12-piece chamber orchestra. Recommendation: Sit in the first third of the seating.
