A Trio of Brimmer Street Theatre Fringe Events
Brimmer Street Theatre Company has announced three events set to be part of the 2013 Fringe Festival, performed consecutively on three Friday nights, June 14, 21, and 28 at the Lounge Theatre in Hollywood. First up on each Friday at 7:45 pm is True Hustle, a solo show in which Marie Lively shares the true story of how a naive Christian temp became a corporate smut queen for one of the most famous (and infamous) pornographers in town.Next at 9:15 pm is I Could’ve Been Dancing ... A Magical Evening of Song and Laughs, in which Ben Fuller, along with Sara Collins, asks the age-old question, do you believe in magic? Do you ever find yourself gazing into the mirror, hopelessly searching for your spirit song? Audiences will need look no further, as Ben and Sara woo your wants and slap your senses as they serenade with a selection of songs and duets, filled with sharp banter and tongue-in-cheek interpretations. This isn’t your grandmother’s lounge act.
The evening concludes with Human Puppet at 10:30 pm, an experiment in interactive theatre that puts spectators in control of the performers and the action. Via radio remote, an audience member can guide the words and motions of a single actor, (David Jette and/or Jon Prescott) interacting with the environment and with the other performer, saying and doing things that no playwright could have imagined. Tickets for True Hustle and I Could’ve Been Dancing are available at www.hollywoodfringe.org for $15 each, or a three-show package (including Human Puppet, which if seen by itself is free) is available at www.BrimmerStreet.org for $20.The Lounge Theatre is located at 6201 Santa Monica Boulevard (at El Centro) in Hollywood.
