Review: A GUIDE TO MODERN POSSESSION at District Fringe
by Mary Lincer - July 12, 2025
What did our critic think of A GUIDE TO MODERN POSSESSION at District Fringe? Dial or text 988 if you or someone you know are having suicidal thoughts. Act One of A Guide to Modern Possession by Caro Dubberly concludes with a suicide attempt. Inaugurating a new Fringe in an un-airconditioned 'space' (a classroom at UDC with the acoustics of a soundproof room) makes for an inauspicious reconstitution of the late Capital Fringe.

Review: DORY FANTASMAGORY at Imagination Stage
by Jennifer Muscato - June 30, 2025
If you have a kid in elementary school, the wildly popular Dory Fantasmagory book series is likely on your radar. What you may not be aware of is there is a stage show based on the books. Recently, my son and I caught Dory Fantasmagory making its East Coast premiere. It was silly, funny, and, maybe most importantly, my five-year-old sat through the entire show and never once asked to even so much as go to the bathroom. Win!
