Description

Steve Jobs is a visionary. Buck Taskaroo is a cowboy. They are best friends. Until fate gets in the way. This play offers an absurd reimagining of a very famous story about success, genius, jealousy, betrayal and – most importantly – fate. We don't know why things work out for some people and not for others. This play explores the tragicomedy of two best friends who share a dream, but only one of them is meant to prevail.

I didn't realize there was so much written history about Steve Jobs and Steve Woz. It's amazing how these public figures can just bury facts and hide them from the public. I was so happy to watch this story and see the TRUTH about Steve's real cowboy best friend, Buck Taskaroo. This felt like a very "Fringe" show. Upstairs in a small, but comfortable room. Three cast members making it happen. You could tell they were all having a lot of fun on stage and it was translating into the audience very well. This is what Fringe is about. Just . Making. It. Happen. Cheers to the performers.

Also - don't google Buck Taskaroo. You'll go into a deep hole of information and tech conspiracies and never look at your myphone the same way.
