'Open 24 Hours' Review
by Taylor Martin


What an amazing array of talent at Indy Fringe this year. I got to see two works; one from Indy and one from Owensboro, Kentucky. Both were relevant, funny, and amazingly original. Then, there was my show. And I must say, we all kicked butt and took names.

"Open 24 Hours" is a collection of five short plays performed by a group of actors from Kentucky. They have chosen new works from five up-and-coming playwrights, and they are all distinctive. From two couples analyzing what makes an uncomfortable moment in a conversation (7 seconds is an official one) to three people considering skinny dipping on New Year's Day (and they do), and a dead clown that was the result of something gone terribly wrong, you realize that this is what live theater has to offer. And, with full nudity (not by the clown), it takes IndyFringe to a new level. Smoking onstage, nudity, dead clown; what else can an anthology show have?
