Uncle Yak and his Magic Comeback at the Boston Fringe FestivalWhat happens when a comedy magician attempts a comeback after fifteen years of “regular life”? You get Uncle Yak, an award-winning magician with quick wit, jaw-dropping illusions, and just enough mischief to keep you guessing. Once a beloved performer across the Northeast, Uncle Yak returns to the stage after years of PTA meetings, office coffee pods, and whatever else passes for adulthood. His new PG-13 show is a celebration of chance, persistence, and the joy of the unexpected. Is he too old? Have his magical powers dried up? Was he ever any good? Find out as Uncle Yak wrestles with rust, relevance, and ridiculousness as he attempts the impossible: a comeback no one asked for, but all will enjoy.

Please join us in May for a beautiful new adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's classic "Little Women"&nbsp; -- the first time it has been produced in Massachusetts.Tickets:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.afdtheatre.org/up-next" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.afdtheatre.org/up-next</a>&nbsp;
One reviewer noted of Lauren Gunderson's version:&nbsp;
"One of the best versions I’ve seen. These are not porcelain figures with easily smoothed-over eccentricities, but real human girls who struggle and quarrel, sometimes viciously, yet have intense loyalty to each other. It also shows how fun they are. One of the joys of reading the book is that you want to be part of the March family, with their homemade theatricals and newspapers. The hijinks and squabbles at the start make the sorrows at the end more poignant."
May 1-17, Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm; Sundays at 2pm.
Tickets $25
