The set was impressive and the camera work with the character, Mark, was impressive. Not a bad seat in the house and they had beverages and snacks on sale in the lobby. They open doors 30 minutes before a show and be prepared to wait in line for the restroom at intermission. I'll definitely be back for more performances. Additionally, there's a parking lot less than a block away you can book in advance on apps like Spot Hero for less than $20.

The group I was with spontaneously planned to see a show at FringeArts being performed by a local…read morecircus school (Circadium). I had never been to FA before and it was an experience. The pros: -Was pleasantly surprised by the show. The performer (who were about to graduate from Circadium) were extremely talented. Not sure how other shows are at FA but this one was great. -Tickets were $15, very reasonable -Seats were socially distanced, after each group three seats were left empty to allow for spacing. Also the audience was seated in every other row. -Masks and hand sanitizer were readily available. The cons: -If you are planning to see a show, buy your tickets in advance if you can. Or plan to pay in cash. If you want to buy tickets at the front desk, there is only one credit card machine and it is extremely slow. It took our group a solid 10 mins to get tickets. -With all the social distancing protocols, it would be convenient if one was seated on the end of a row to be able to cross the front row and climb up the stairs, versus having people get up to let you in. -When asked about the show we were going to see, none of the employees at the front desk knew anything about the show. I would advise having the people working to be able to give the show's general description. Overall I would recommend taking the time to catch a show at FA. Be prepared to be exposed to something new. Just buy your tickets online or have cash ready if you are buying at the front box office.

I am SO glad I decided to take a study break and see Mazeppa Productions' (http://www.yelp.com/biz/mazeppa-productions-philadelphia) production of Avenue Q tonight because I am so giddy and happy and excited and relaxed that I almost forgot how much work I have to do! AMAZING cast. Seriously sometimes forgot those puppets weren't actually singing. And the guy who voiced Trekkie Monster AND one of the bad idea bears AND Nicky. Best facial expressions/voice ever. And the girl who played Lucy the Slut and Kate Monster had an incredible voice. Let's just say...I just saw Wicked at the Academy of Music in a theater about 30 times as big as this and 4 times as expensive, and the acting and singing and entertainment value of Avenue Q was on par. and I LOVED Wicked. It was great to be in a small theater and feel like you were IN the show and that the actors were so close. HILARIOUS. I was seriously cracking up and laughing so hard I should probably apologize to the people around me. Runs through July 27th. Tickets are $25. We went for Young Friends night (free booze!) and there's another special night coming up for a pre-show drinks and snacks deal (same price): LGBT night the 25th. If you're not familiar with the show, GO. If you're easily offended...maybe..loosen up? With songs like "Everyone's a little racist" and "The Internet is for PORN," this show may not be the best thing to take your grandmother/niece too. BUT IT WAS PRETTY MUCH THE BEST THING EVER.

Full disclosure: Kind of a musical theater dork here. Sorry I'm not sorry…read more.. Mazeppa Productions is a small musical theatre production company that puts on shows at the Christ Church Neighborhood House. Tickets are very reasonably priced ($25 and discounted for preview nights). This summer they're doing Avenue Q, and I am reaaaallly upset that I probably won't have time to see it, but encourage you all to go! SCRATCH THAT. After I wrote this review I decided I really wanted to go so I booked tickets. Boom. Had the pleasure of checking out Spring Awakening last summer and it was AWESOME! Great cast, great production, minimal sets, but very effective acting and great singing. The space was small, but made the show really intimate. We went on opening night I think and there was some alcohol and appetizers (cheese and crackers, hummus, etc) out for us before the show which was really great. I know they also do a Young Professionals Night and an LGBT Night with similar complimentary drinks and snacks. Check them out!
