Play: Get it? Got it. Good!
Reviewer: John Rackham

Entertaining, thoughtful, well-written and well-acted. Great cast. I enjoyed every minute. Hmm. Why do I feel like a cucumber sandwich?

Great fun. Witty, lighthearted, and playful. The three acts go by quickly, not unlike an episode of The Office.

Moments of brilliance amidst underdevelopment. Sam Shaw is always a hilarious pleasure onstage. the show picked up steam at a pwerpoint presentation and at the end I thought It ended up much better than it began. The script needs to be focused, tightened and clarified.

A great ensemble cast in a quick witted and complex thrill ride. Fun, blasphemous and compelling. I think I know what IT is.

Oh, man. Terrible theater. Didn't I already see this type of thing in the early 1980s? But better? Also, white man playwright says, "hey man, I'm not sexist or nothing" from the mouthpieces of multiple characters in a defensive strategy that can in no way cover the fact that his whore archetype is decades dusty.

Get It? Got It? Get Out!

Don’t both with this collection of three short plays. It left less of an impression than Paris Hilton’s underfed attempts at bonmots on late night talk shows. I was not moved. I did not laugh. I did not chuckle. Much of my time was spent looking at my watch. A fellow reviewer wrote that this is a “performance that makes you think.” You will be thinking, “Why did I choose this performance to attend?” It's not the fault of the performers. They just didn’t have a lot of script to work with. Pass on this puppy.

I greatly enjoyed this show! Dan Wilson has crafted a unique and compelling script.
It features a talented cast and an equally talented professional musician contributing a live score to the performance.
In my opinion one of this years must see productions!

A piece to make you think! This show uses some very interesting and not-so-conventional dramatic devices, features some lovely work from the cast, and there's a live soundtrack.

This is a fun piece of Fringe theatre: extremely well acted, tight, and inventive.

This production excels at making deconstruction entertaining. The performers definitely give their all, as the play progresses from the first act elusiveness of "it" to the third act disintegration of the play and its characters. I attended with a vague notion of the structure and its conceit, and was still pleasantly surprised all around. Kudos to writer/director Wilson. Catz Forsman and Sam Shaw mine comedic gold. David Austin-Groen moves from menace to mayhem, sometimes in the same scene. Stephanie DeMott smoulders as Jasmine. And, Paul Jennings explodes in a second act power-point presentation gone wrong that has to be seen to believed. Actually, one can say that about "Get It? Got It. Good!" as well.

A strange and enjoyable romp into experimental theater with stalwarts of the small-theater scene in San Francisco. There's lots of strong acting and clever dialog. These, along with spare live music and great costumes, serve to anchor this piece as it spins around theatrical convention like a dog trying to catch its own tail.

The only thing I can say is that I am glad the "Theatre of the Vague" has never made it to mass audiences. I don't know if the playwright/director ever gave the actors an idea of what the "it" is but "it" clearly isn't good.

The actors are definitely trying their best with non-existant material but if the playwright wishes to serve as the director in this case then he better be willing to give direction. Clearly these actors are on their own.
