Fringe 2009

I’m in two fringe plays this year. Should be pretty fun! Here’s info:

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

36 Little Plays About Hopeless Girls
Produced by Birdtown and Swanville
Written & Directed by Aurora Stewart de Peña
Featuring: Donna Maloney, Cara Gee, Liz Peterson, Monique Moses, Aurora Stewart de Peña, Nika Mistruzzi, Sochi Fried, Jolene Devoe, Julia Lederer, Laura McCoy, Lauren Bride, Rebecca Applebaum, and Nicole Stamp.
$10. At Bread and Circus Theatre Bar in Kensington Market
(299 Augusta, just south of College)

This is a dark, odd collection of tiny plays about young women who are messing up in funny ways, intercut with 30-second modern dance pieces choreographed to celphone ringtones. I play Evangeline, whom I’ve nicknamed “the most overbearing person on the planet”. After the first readthrough they all said “OMG Nicole, you’re perfect for this part” and I wasn’t sure what to feel.

Showtimes (75 minutes long, with intermission. No latecomers!):

Wednesday, July 1st……….8:15 pm
Thursday, July 2nd………..10:00 pm

It’s Just A Phase

Featuring: Nicole Wilson, Mark Nimeroski, Marissa Gregoris, Richard Anthony, Christian Jeffries, Tracey Beltrano, and Nicole Stamp
$10. At Theatre Passe Muraille, 16 Ryerson Avenue, 1 block NorthEast of Queen & Bathurst.

This one’s a musical comedy about a new-ish lesbian trying to convince her family that her Sapphic tendencies are more than just a phase. I play Tonya, a butchy carpenter in love with the lead ingenue, and I get to sing a fun Motown number. Luckily my vocal range is lezzo-soprano.

Mon July 6 – 3:00 pm

And let’s say you REALLY love me and you want to see both shows. There are several days you could comfortably see them both back-to-back. The venues are about 8 blocks apart and it’s enough time to walk and even get a popsicle!

10:30-midnight- Phase at PasseMuraille

And finally, if you would like to order Advance Tickets to either show, you can do so at the Fringe Website. If you plan to see more than 5 shows, you might wanna get a pass to save $1 per ticket (scroll all the way down for this option).

Yee haw!
