Ms. Sugarcoat

Alice Nelson—PTE Studio

I cried I laughed so hard in this show. Nelson’s portrayal of a new age, fresh-faced teacher was wickedly funny and had mile-a-minute jokes everywhere!

Her trusty sidekick Pat the Beaver (a talking hand puppet) with a political agenda of his own upped the anti and kept this show from becoming too sickly sweet.

The juxtaposition of the absurdly inclusive, and the potty mouth of the puppet, made for a great combo.

This show is definitely not one to take the kids or your mom to (there are quite a lot of dirty jokes and language), but it is one you should take some of your buddies too for an hour of pure fun! Definitely one of my highlights from the festival.
