Too Many Mitchell Deanes in the Fringe, 8/2/2012

[Roy Janik]

Here's the plan for the 28th Free Fringe.

Deeply Superficial, produced by Bob Olmstead

Your friend is well-meaning and looking out for you, so she gives your email address to a friend of hers she thinks might be a good match for you. But the email you get from this potential partner in love not only includes a list of requirements you must meet, but ends with the sentence:

"And in the name of full disclosure, I'm a deeply superficial person."

What do you do in this situation? The only thing you can do.

Blow her off and create an improv show based on the email.

starring (so far): Jordan, Kristin, Cassidy, Cortney De Angelo

Drowning in Mitchell Deane, produced by Brad Hawkins

Mitchell Deane (whose real name is Granville Mitchell Deane III, or so he says), is a unique and beautiful snowflake of an improviser and a person. It can take him 30 minutes to answer a simple yes/no question, and no time at all to make you laugh hysterically.

Look, the man cannot be explained, and he can definitely not be duplicated. But this show will attempt to do just that. A cast of brave improvisers will attempt to perform as Mitchell Deane. And just to spice things up, Mitchell will also be in the cast.

starring (so far): Ryan Austin, Brandon Martin, Ruby Willmann, Ryan Hill, Ellen Pittsford, Sarah Swofford, and special guest star Mitchell Deane

Headliners and Hosts: Firth&Arjet

This week Firth&Arjet will be presented with a mystery format by Chris Allen. They will have no idea what the format is until they step on stage.

If nothing else, do it for the poor AIC-ers who are trapped in Chicago. #tragicmusic
