What’s Happening In Ottawa:
JOSH’S REVIEW: Barely Even There @ Ottawa Fringe 2013
Despite the strong vocal performances of its cast, Barely Even There suffers from cliché lyrics and dialogue, as well as too much melodrama. If some of the exchanges weren’t so on the nose, I may have been able to buy in. Should you see it?

Tinfoil Satellite @ Ottawa Fringe 2013
Two roommates find themselves sitting at home with nothing to do. Joined by their “friend” and other strange guests, they are subjected to one awful movie after another, with only each other’s riffs to make it bearable. It’s comedy. It’s at the Oak. There’s alcohol. Nuff said. Learn more about Tinfoil Satellite, with images.

MATTHEW’S REVIEW - Around Miss Julie @ Ottawa Fringe 2013
Hopegrown Productions presents Around Miss Julie, a play about a group of actors who come together to rehearse and perform a pulpy, purple-prose adaptation of Miss Julie with the “guidance” of a young director who feels that she has something to prove. Coming in hot from Montreal Fringe, Around Miss Julie garnered two award nominations for Best English Theatre Performance & the Beyond the Mountain Award. Is Around Miss Julie worth the buzz? Should You See It?

JOSH’S REVIEW: Tinfoil Satellite @ Ottawa Fringe 2013
Travel back to the 90s for some Mystery Science Theatre 3000 inspired fun. Three friends use their tinfoil satellite to steal their neighbour’s television signal and watch whatever is on. With some good riffing and interesting voluntary audience participation that impacts the show, Tinfoil Satellite is a relaxing and enjoyable time watching some so-bad-it’s-good movies. Should you see it?

JOSH’S REVIEW: Nhar Moves (Super Bad Moves) @ Ottawa Fringe 2013
Nhar Moves certainly involves a lot of travel, but if feels too slow throughout. It’s cute, but not enough so to save it from feeling a bit tedious. However, Kauffman’s quiet protagonist will get the occasional chuckle out of you. Should you see it?

JOSH’S REVIEW: Keeper @ Ottawa Fringe 2013
Keeper is a bizarre and very unique look at how memories are formed and define a person. Emma Zabloski really immerses herself in the role and uses parts of her own life, both funny and tragic, for the piece. This isn’t for everyone, and the necessary audience participation may scare off some people, but I’d encourage you to go in with an open mind. Should you see it?

MATTHEW’S REVIEW - Superhero Showdown @ Ottawa Fringe 2013
Superhero Showdown is a family, kid-centric puppet show by Rock the Arts. Kevin & Tillie, brother and sister puppets alongside one of their human counterparts tell stories that focus on them as superheroes, and throughout it all they find out that they don’t need superpowers to be a superhero. Should You See It?
