with. The two women hit the mark all around in this play, and the audience
is in for a treat. Thanks for a fabulous ride!

I enjoyed it a lot, except for self-conscious episode about "my beginnings
in theatre."

5review = A funny, sly skewering of our penchant for defining others by
exclusion from what we are-- or worse, how we let others use this technique
to drive our own self-image.
Most of the vignettes are kept light, a couple are poignant, but all of
them have some sting...these are not the noble soccer moms of political-demographic
lore.
Some of the portrayals, despite the comic touch, have a deeper resonance:
the little kid's "keep-out" club is a preview of barbaric fraternity
initiation rites; the cools-vs.-geeks schism reminds you of recent high
school horrors.
The performers are both versatile in the range of characters they portray
and they have a good chemistry.

5review = Kudos,ladies! Not since Lucy and Ethel have I seen such magical
chemistry between two talented artists! It was obvious that they knew their
material - but there also appeared to be a special trust that the two shared
between them that no bit of rehearsing could instill. You just know these
women enjoy each other's company, on stage and off. I know I enjoyed them.

5review = If good theatre is like a mirror showing the audience something
about themselves, then this light-hearted look of what we do to "fit
in" is probably some of the most poignant and delightful theatre you'll
see at The Fringe. I saw it twice and each time I overheard audience members
saying quietly, "I know what that's like."
I think the playwrights are onto something.

5review = Seeing "Membership is Never Free" was very depressing,
due to it confirming a suspicion I've had: that you may as well hire a
monkey with darts, as try to figure out what you should see at the Fringe.
We went to this thinking it sounded slightly less uninteresting than everything
else in that time slot--and it was far and away the best thing we saw at
the Fringe. Hilarious and smart and paced to perfection. Maher and Freeman
(the actors) are TOO cool; that's all I know.

be real life. It'll make you laugh and bring
a tear to your eye. 2 gals = alot of work!
Singing, dancing, comedy and drama well put
together to keep you in your seat. HATS OFF!!

5review = This play was fun, heartfelt, and thought-
provoking. The actors created a wonderfully
ebullient and life-affirming evening of reflection
on their own lives, and the theatricality of it all!
They created art out of normal lives. And they made
me think about my own potentially "theatrical" background!
These two women have a marvelous chemistry and a
broad range of theatrical talents that really brought
depth to their "membership" explorations! I loved it!
This is the kind of show I would like to bring to
my peers at work -- to use in "Development" sessions.

in a creative, well written manner. These talented actresses convey their
thoughts clearly, and also in a diverse, heartfelt/comedic fashion. I will
definately see this twice!

as it prepared for its Fringe debut and was completely enchanted. I highly
recommend it. Two talented actresses deliver big laughs in a show that
tickles the funny bone and touches the heart. (Yeah, I made that up.) Go
see it.
