BONUS REVIEW - Orange is the New Blank

Fringe Description: FUNNY

I saw the preview of Orange is the New Blank at the end of August.  Nicole Passmore, Briana Rayner, Diana Bang, Ese Atawo, Julianne Hoyak, Jamie Chrest and Brad Rossington make up the full cast.  Not having seen the TV series Orange is the New Black didn't stop me from enjoying this event so no previous experience is required for this show.  

There were only four female inmates in the penitentiary for the preview but they were all funny, quick and entertaining. Their characters were all unique and believable.  I can only imagine that adding two additional prisoners would make it even better as the plotlines get more complex. The "two" guards were also very good, played by Brad Rossington who performs good guard/bad guard with split second timing.  This is an improv performance that involves ideas from the audience which provide the direction for the event.  So no two shows will be alike.
