As comic sketch crazily succeeds comic sketch, a whole pattern of American life emerges and takes quite the dynamic cast to pull this off! "This is an actors show", says director Bobby Fontana. While a typical show requires an actor to focus and embrace one particular character, this show requires the actor to continually change identities through accent, expression and physicality from the moment the curtain is raised!
You won't find an elaborate set, exquisite costumes or mind blowing props... but you will experience six stellar actors who deliver a myriad of characters ranging from little boys to stern grandfathers, and from giggling teenage girls to southern housemaids. Each vignette introduces a new set of people and events all intertwined to the plays main theme... an in-depth portrait of a vanishing species: the upper-middle-class WASP!
Come see the "sensational six" as Fontana coined them for one of their five performances starting the weekend of February 21st and the 28th at the Frances Marion Brown theater. You won't want to miss this brilliantly conceived and richly humorous theatrical tour de force staring Brian Pringle, Knate MacKensie Roy, Matthew Gordon, Stephanie Johnson, Banna Rubinow and Tammy Wilkinson.
