4 Seasons Total Sh!tshow! (Fringe22)

 Spoilers ahoy!

Anybody remember when Rudy Guiliani held a press conference at the "Four Seasons" in Philadelphia to "prove" election fraud?  Only no one had hired out the actual Four Seasons so they held it at a landscaping company?  This was right after the 2020 election.

The 4 Seasons Total Sh!tshow is a wonderful script with some very fine actors, focusing on one of very many absurd events vis-a-vis the 2020 election.

I emphasize the script is funny.  I want also to emphasize the cast are clearly very talented.

But it is seriously under-rehearsed.  I asked one of the producers about this and learned several cast members were felled (temporarily) by Covid just before opening.  Oh.  My.  God.  That is a horror story.  But it has had an impact on the timing and flow of this otherwise delightful farce.  

The 4 Seasons Total Sh!tshow plays Wednesday June 22 at 6pm and Saturday June 25 at 5pm, 2022, at the Stephanie Fleury Studio, 5636 Melrose Avenue.
