Fringe Festival "The Event" review by SweetScience

The Event - GO SEE IT!
Rating: 5

The Event
KC Fringe Festival

A man stands in a pool of light and addresses a group of strangers sitting silently in the dark ...

And so begins the event - both in word and in deed.  This hour-long soliloquy, performed flawlessly by MET founder Bob Paisley, examines the acting trade, the psyche of the theatergoer, the nature of entertainment, and ultimately, the nature of human existence.  Never preachy or pontificating, this part stand-up comedy, part diatribe, part rumination starts as a humor-filled reflection on "The Event" and builds to heights rarely scaled in the KC theater scene.  Doubly so for the Fringe.  Well rehearsed and performed with uncommon professionalism, this is a must see for anyone who likes theater.  Or who likes to be entertained.  Or who likes to think.  Don't miss it!
