Jesus Jello - FRINGE XX

Jesus Jello: The Miraculous Confection at the Freestanding Room Off-Venue #B. Written & co-directed by Joanne Sarazen, and co-directed by Lindsay Wilson. A stellar all star local cast in a talented ensemble featuring: Joseph Bembridge, Catherine Lemieux, George Bekiaris, Patrick Charron, Tristan D. Lalla, Joanna Noyes, Thomas Preece, and Emily Quaile. All are great and well cast in their roles; stand outs were Joseph Bembridge, Patrick Charron, and Catherine Lemieux who steals the show from the first note to the final tableau we can't take our eyes and ears off her. A clever very well written text, current yet with just the right measure of retro appeal. Costumes, and in particular the compact original set design are also both noteworthy. Get your 'Jesus Freak' on and giggle your jello over to the Freestanding Church and get a taste of this hilarious laugh out load bowl of delightfully inspirational confections. 4 cents. Dee Arr

Jesus Jello is miraculous. -Miles Wilson wakes up in his hospital bed after a mild concussion to behold the face of Jesus Christ in a bowl of lemon lime jello. This causes his family to embark upon a holy crusade of exploitation that gets the attention of a disenchanted gay couple, a recently widowed woman, and God almighty. "After all, who has a bigger God complex than God?" A wonderful incursion into the life's of men and women, into their despair and loneliness, and a gospel of a love over acceptance for the present we all share with one another. 4 cents. RaTaTa
