With free rehearsal times and the goal of a 60-minute narrative show, you could woof too. (We mean you should submit your show.)
Come see narrative comedic works like you know you want to.
This week:
Jeff & Buttons in The Free Show
by Chris Manley and Jeff Seal
Jeff & Buttons have sold out, or at least they’re trying to! What are two clowns supposed to do in a gig economy? In this show, Jeff & Buttons are forced to work a side hustle of knock knock jokes, but of course their real passion is being two idiots on a stage.
Come see them as they work through their money issues!
Featuring:
Chris Manley as Buttons
Jeff Seal as Jeff
Directed by Eric Davis
Produced by Shaina Feinberg
Jeff and Chris met when they were both cast in Kill Me Loudly, a devised clown show directed by Eric Davis (Red Bastard, Cirque du Soleil). Since then, they’ve performed at Ars Nova’s ANT Fest, the NY International Clown Festival, UCB, The PIT, Night of the Living, The Dave Hill Explosion, Galapagos and tons of comedy and variety shows around the city. They perform offstage too like at parties and on line at the grocery store even when no one asks them too. They’re always “on.” It can get tiring, yes, but just smile at them and they’ll eventually stop.
Big Fish in a Small Pond
by Deidre Lynn
Big Fish in a Small Pond, written, directed, and performed by Deidre Lynn, is a one-woman show about the girl who is convinced not by herself, but by everyone else in her life that she will be successful in the entertainment industry.
Focusing on the chronological events that led her to a degree in theater performance and the regret that ensued, the show is essentially a cabaret featuring songs from musical theatre's greatest, coupled with original monologues and choreography.
Along with full songs and comedic stories, other notable moments include a Broadway diva impressions reel, a show-stopping montage of an animal movement unit from a college performance class, and of course, a glimpse into the audition world of 32 bar cuts and dance calls.
It’s a comically tragic timeline of how the people from one girl's small world threw her into the big world falsely assuming she would transform into immediate stardom, and leaving her saying to herself, "what the fuck now?"
Featuring: Deidre Lynn
