About the Show

One woman. 25 characters. All inside a cupboard! In Dominique Salerno's solo show, the space is limited, but the comedic possibilities are endless. A hit at the 2016 NYC Fringe Festival.

Each time the cupboard doors fly open, we discover an entirely new reality with a brand-new set of characters. These dynamic scenes include a drunken couple mid-fight in a Las Vegas hotel, the entire Greek Army within the Trojan Horse, a lonely Giantess, a lost Pope, and so many more. With sketch-style characters and musical numbers, 'The Box Show' is a fast-paced and adrenaline-filled roller-coaster ride that plunges its audience into vastly different worlds without ever leaving the physical space of the box. It's a shot glass of theater: potent, highly concentrated, and it gets the job done.

Clever, Delightful, Entertaining

See it if You lile smart sketch comedy

Don't see it if You dislike silly in a box

Quirky, Imaginative, Clever, Funny, Entertaining

See it if you enjoy outside the box theater. Some sketches work better than others but overall a worthwhile evening. She's very versatile (literally).

Don't see it if you prefer shows with elaborate production values, large casts, etc.

Ambitious, Clever, Quirky, Entertaining, Hit-or-miss

See it if you're intrigued by the notion of transforming a very limited set space into a variety of wonderfully humorous settings

Don't see it if honestly it's a matter of taste. I found about half of the vignettes fantastic. And the other half meh at best. The good ones do shine tho
