They had several High School friends performing, and saw the show twice.

"Do not touch the science"
You Are Not Paris is a nicely presented High School play. Slow and deliberate, the well-rehearsed ensemble cast retains their individuality while bouncing off each other. The show is a series of skits detailing medical conditions (such as synesthesia) where all the scientists slip effortlessly into and out of the condition at hand. The interaction with the video(s) is fun to watch. Three and a half stars rounded up for good ensemble acting.
My last show of the Fringe! 49! I saw fringes in 18 of the 19 venues. Now, to work on the videos…
Here are all the shows I saw at the 2010 Minnesota Fringe Festival, mostly with Carole. While they are grouped by rating, they are not specifically ranked. The Fringe web site only allows integers, not 1/2 grades, so my reviews on the Fringe web site will have these adjusted up or down as warranted.
The four shows marked "video" are where I went to a dress rehearsal and made Baron Dave YouTube videos. The Fringe web site doesn't allow for reviewing anything other than a Fringe performance, but I count them in my final tally.

The Damn Audition xxxx 3/4 I feel a little guilty about liking Scrimshaw shows such as this one. It's very cleverly written and well acted, but all his shows about actors are starting to meld together.
