Tom, Bachelor Switch Boy in the Free Fringe, 5/24/2012

[Roy Janik]

Here's the insane plan for the Fringe on 5/24:

5/24/2012: The Nineteenth Show!

The Improv Bachelor, produced by Brad Hawkins

It's like a dating reality show, only for improv duos.

There will be an improviser chosen to be the Bachelor and three or four contestants. A director sets up some scenes, and the Bachelor is paired with each of the contestants in turn.

The audience judges the scenes, and the winning pairing forms a duo which is given a slot in the next Hideout schedule.

Switch-Tag Story, produced by Granville Mitchell Deane III

Improvising one long story is difficult enough. But what happens when the actors playing the characters keep switching?

At any given point the improvisers will check in with each other and all people on stage (and people in the wings( will switch characters. Also at any given point, people from the wings can tag a person out and play their character.

Madness.

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
