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!
Dont both with this collection of three short plays. It left less
of an impression than Paris Hiltons 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 didnt 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. |
