Not to spoil anything, but Tampa Fringe’s “American Fever Dream” is set up as a game show where the rules are ever-changing and the audience calls the shots.

Nicole Crowther—Assistant Professor, Theatre and Dance at the University of Tampa—is no stranger to going off-script, which should play well in this 18-and-up show that skewers the slippery concept of pursuing the American Dream.

Tickets to see “American Fever Dream” at Tampa Fringe starting Thursday, June 12 are still available and start at $12.
