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, Entertaining, Funny

See it if unique, one woman show. it is funny, entertaining and different than other comedies. She is sometimes outrageous. Show is entertaining.

Don't see it if you don't think outside the box as this show is different than other one woman comedies. Some of the humor is slightly crazy but very enter

Clever, Funny, Great acting, Great staging, Delightful

See it if you enjoy innovative comedy sketches. Some are better than others (there's room to trim!), but all are clever, well-acted, and well-staged.

Don't see it if you need perfection. Here, whole is greater than the sum of parts. Salerno's a big talent...she does accents, physical shtick, sings, acts. Read more

Clever, Delightful, Funny, Intense, Quirky

See it if You want to see a brilliantly creative series of sketches by one woman inside a box. She's making a point but mostly it's just fun.

Don't see it if You're looking for more substance and story.

Clever, Entertaining

See it if You like ingenious sketch improv. Dominique creates 20 scenarios in a box-more surprises than a carton of Crackerjacks.

Don't see it if This is not a play. It is a performance. There is a single performer. There is a box.And there is your imagination. Read more

Clever, Masterful, Enchanting, Entertaining, Ambitious

See it if You enjoy watching a phenomenal actress change roles in the blink of an eye and all within a confining space. Her imagination is astounding.

Don't see it if You don't like one woman shows. Don't have a sense of humor or imagination, or can't click into a story withing five seconds. Read more

Hilarious, Unique, Clever, Refreshing, Delightful

See it if Thoroughly refreshing comedic gold coming out of a tiny cupboard broken into four quadrant doors - Richard, fetus, giant, Robert and killer

Don't see it if Low-budget, claustrophobic comedy

Clever, Entertaining, Ambitious, Quirky

See it if You like a one woman shows of short unrelated vignettes. The actor/writer was very clever!

Don't see it if dozens of short unrelated vignettes don't speak to you. There were so many short scenes, that it became a little numbing.

Repetitive, Too long, Clever, Interesting, Creative

See it if You like sketches. It’s very creative but a bit long for a one stream bit. The performer is strong. I was rooting for her. But it dragged

Don't see it if You don’t like one person shows. You prefer plot-driven experiences.
