David Currie: Beyond the Pale delves into a family’s emotional struggle as some begin leaving their traditional homeland to seek out the promise of New York City and the American dream.

Jennifer Cavanagh: “These three are comics are undoubtedly talented, with a strong dynamic between them and very funny on their own but not all the bits land as they should”

Livia Belcea: “Although the subject matter of the play makes it difficult to watch, the play itself is excellent.”

Barb Popel: “Magnificence is Keir Cutler’s bouquet to his beloved, talented mother, who died in 2011.”

Brian Carroll: “Pomerant has played class clown to a limited audience until now. But stand-up comedy is the big league. He needs better material, something more for the audience to sink its teeth into.”

Mer Weinhold: “Since opening night very nearly sold out, interested festival-goers would be wise to see Bat Brains sooner rather than later.”

Barb Popel: “With all his acting training, I was a little surprised by several things happening on stage.”

Brian Carroll: “Every year I hope there will be a really good family show at the Ottawa Fringe. This year my prayers have been answered.”

Kate Carmanico: “Outrageous… Forget the old man with the white beard—I’d rather meet this firecracker in heaven.”

Helen Lam: This play seems to be more like a dramatized memoir than a theatre drama.

Brian Carroll: Being a science junkie, I found the train of events in Meitner’s life intriguing.

Jared Davidson: “A quick-witted, absurd and cerebral comedy about the end of the world and the greed that caused it. Or, if not greed, caffeine addiction.”
