I Saw You In Your Prime, Kid, in the Fringe, 4/5/2012

[Roy Janik]

Here's the plan for the Free Fringe this week. Missed connections, adorable adults playing themselves as adorable kids, and In Our Prime subbing in for Firth & Arje.

4/4/2012: The Thirteenth Show!

I Saw You!, produced by Nicole Oliver

You know the "I Saw You"/"Missed Connections" ads that used to pop up in newspapers but now are huge on the internet?

We will use a computer to randomly pick ads that people have placed on the internet like this one:

I saw you, revolutionary music teacher now living in Oakland

"You: brown hair, green jacket, pro-Palestine shirt, and black sunglasses, oh and I can’t forget the brown shoulder bag. Me: IWW shirt and nothing cool on except for maybe a red star shining from my black heart. We should meet."

The improvisers will then have either two choices -

1) Create that scene from the beginning of when the missed connection actually took place or

2) Create the scene from when they meet again.

Play Date!, produced by Karen DeWitt

In this show, Karen DeWitt, Kayla Freeman, and Kaci Beeler act like themselves as tiny, adorable children! Who wouldn't want to see that?????????

First, they each tell a little story about something funny that happened when they were kids. Then they take inspiration from those stories to do 3 person scenes as themselves as children.

Regression therapy? Perhaps. But we're all along for the ride!

In Our Prime

With Kristin out of town, In Our Prime is subbing in for Firth & Arjet. Three Improvised Story Tellers finding the tale from your suggestions with Gloria Bankler, Ryan Hill, Paul Normandin, and special guest Jessica Arjet.
