Review That Review!

Posted by fringefamous on 15th July 2008

Kurt exposes more critical retardation in this edition of Review That Review. Remember when we did this post about Tom Mustachio? Yeah, me too. Don’t you kind of wish that Tom Mustachio and William Randall Beard would become besties? I think that’d be cute.

————

William Randall Beard weighs in on an Agatha Christie piece at TRP, and lets us in on exactly how high the bar is now apparently set…

“Much of the rest of the acting is rather pedestrian. And the physical production is lackluster and unimaginative. But in this kind of show that hardly matters. As homage to Christie and her detective, this is still an enjoyable entertainment.”

Wow. Hear that folks? Pick a good show, and simply do a “pedestrian”, “lackluster”, and “unimaginative” production of it. As long as the show is a good one, we’ll give you a free ride.

Hey Randall, why don’t you go back to “reviewing” Park Square shows?

We Want Your Mail!

Your Fringe Postcard

Hey, kids! Don’t forget — there’s still time to *send us a digital copy of your postcard or poster for the upcoming Minnesota Fringe Festival. We’ll post it on FringeFamous.com for the outrageous price of zero. Why on Earth would we do this? Because 1.) we love the Minnesota Fringe Festival and are excited as hell for it, 2.) we want to see what’s coming up, and 3.) we get quite a few visitors each week…it’s entirely possible that it may help your show!

Oh, and we promise not to comment on these. If you send us your show art, we will post it sans snarky comment. Cross our hearts and hope to die. Email your submission to Author@FringeFamous.com. We’ll start posting the week before the Festival.

*idea borrowed from this awesome theatre blog.
