Melanie Gall: Fringe Crush 2011

Submitted by admin on Thu, 05/26/2011 - 03:45

Melanie stars in My Pal Izzie, featuring the music of Irving Berlin -- http://www.melaniegall.com/Izzy

http://orlandofringe.org/node/900
Irving Berlin, well-known as the composer of 'White Christmas', is one of America's most famous composers. However, not many people know of Berlin's early life and of his struggle to succeed. From a young immigrant just off the boat from Russia to one of the shining lights of Tin Pan Alley, Irving's story is fascinating. This show contains some of Berlin's best early songs, from 'Don't Take Your Beau to the Seashore' to 'If You Don't Want My Peaches'.

Sisterscene is a theatre company from Alberta, Canada and New York, NY. They will be presenting shows at 7 Fringe festivals this year, including Toronto, London and Vancouver.

Jeff Culbert: Fringe Crush 2011

Submitted by admin on Mon, 05/23/2011 - 22:07

Jeff is in "archy and mehitabel", about a cockroach and a cat who are best friends, based on the work of Don Marquis

Meet Archy, a cockroach with a critical eye on humanity, and Mehitabel, a bohemian alley cat with an unbreakable spirit. “A pure delight” (Ottawa Citizen), “vivid and unforgettable” (CBC Manitoba)

The script for archy and mehitabel was devised from the writings of American poet, humorist and folk philosopher Don Marquis, who created the characters in 1916 for his New York newspaper column and wrote about their adventures for the next twenty years. Archy the Cockroach and Mehitabel the Cat are the main players, but a wide variety of secondary creatures make appearances as well.

Update: Mikaela won our first annual "Crushie" award!

Mikaela comes from Newfoundland in Canada, and her show is in the Patron's Room this year.
