Singing, Smores, and a Telescope in the Fringe for 4/26/2012

[Roy Janik]

Here's the plan for this week's Fringe, with shows by Michael Brockman and Peter Rogers/Marc Majcher

4/26/2012: The Fifteenth Show!

Campfire Songs, produced by Michael Brockman

Folks gathered 'round a campfire, making s'mores and telling each other stories.

Except the stories will all be improvised songs and the campfire will be fake (hopefully).

All the warmth and joy of a communal night around the fire, with more music and fewer bugs.

starring: Aden Kirschner, Jordan Maxwell, Jason Vines, Peter Rogers, Amber Franklin, Michael Brockman

Epic Telescope, produced by Peter Rogers and Marc Majcher

There's a game in Maestro called Half-Life, where we do a scene in a minute, then the same scene in 30 seconds, then 15, then 7... This is the opposite of that.

The brave performers will start with a 10 second scene, and re-do it longer, and longer, and longer.

As Peter Rogers, one of the producers, said:

"This is probably completely impossible. If it crashes and burns, I will reveal that the whole thing was Marc's (the other producer's) idea."

starring: Peter Rogers, Marc Majcher, Lauren Zinn Buck, Lisa Jackson, and Josh Gill

Firth & Arjet

Firth&Arjet present their new format: Tomboys

It can be tough growing up as a girl who prefers trucks over dolls, getting dirty over being pretty, and adventure over politeness. It's a lot easier with a friend who likes that stuff just as much as you. They might get into trouble but that won't stop them, even as they get older.

"The show was original, interesting, and hilarious. I'd book them again anytime." -- Yvonne Landry, Theater Owner / Festival Producer, New Orleans

...and the campfire will be fake (hopefully)...

No promises.

[Rev. Jordan T. Maxwell]

i make no promises of joy...but my angst and pathos can still be quite warming!

[mpbrockman]

BUMP.

Extra bonus - the audience will not be penalized for joining in the campfire singing. Also - I have marshmallows.

This should be fun.
