Expect the unexpected with "Short King", a small but mighty play about grief, long journeys, and finding peace with oneself.
The use of graphics created a beautiful scene which set the tone for the story ahead. From the very beginning, I was hooked by curiosity. The main character - a literal short king - walked us through a journey that shifted effortlessly between tragedy and comedy. At every twist and turn, there was something new to discover: a dance break, a rap, or even a high-five spree.
This show is an absolute must-see if you love audience participation and theatrical improvisation. From pop-culture references to hurling obstacles, every aspect of the performance defied expectations.
It wasn’t just perfect for the youth in the audience, who were thrilled to participate onstage, but the themes were relatable enough that all age groups left feeling giggly and thoroughly satisfied. Every aspect of the performance blended together to create an extravagant, comical, compelling show.
The only critique I have is that I’d love to see this show on a larger stage with a fuller audience and a longer run time. The 45 minutes flew by so quickly that I wish I'd scheduled a second viewing.
