So you might have noticed I've been slightly absent from SG for a while!
I've been directing my first full pressional production! My new theater company, The Washington Rogues, is presenting "Busted Jesus Comix", a dark comedy by David Johnston, as part of the 2008 Capital Fringe Festival here in DC. I hope you can make it out!
Here's a bit about the play from our general release:
"Hilarious, touching, and just a little depraved, Busted Jesus Comix tells the story of Marco, a gay teenager brought up on felony obscenity charges in his home state of Florida for publishing his amateur comic book. Based on true events, Marco's sentence is the stuff of which First Amendment legends are born. Three years probation. Fines. Mandatory psychiatric counseling. But worst of all for Marco, he is banned from drawing. Cut off from his creative outlet, estranged from his family, hounded by religious crusaders, and caught up in the Ex-Gay movement, Marco struggles to adapt to his new infamy as a censored artist and societal outcast. Newly arrived in New York City, Marco awaits an interview at mega-size coffee chain Dazzle Cups, an interview that will expose the secrets of his past, and offer him a chance at a new life. Presented as part of the Capital Fringe Festival: unjuried, risk-taking independent performing arts. "
I'm exceptionally proud of the actors and artists that have come together for this project, and I want to share it with as many people as possible. Here is the basic information:
Location: Flashpoint - Mead Theater Lab. 916 G Street, NW 20001 (Near the Chinatown/Gallery Place Metro)
Tickets: $15.00, available at the Fringe Box Office: 607 New York Avenue, NW or online at http://www.theatermania.com/content/show.cfm/show/144622
Performance Dates and Times:
Friday, 7/18/08, 10:30pm
Sunday, 7/20/08, 12:00pm
Wednesday, 7/23/08, 6:30pm
Saturday, 7/26/08, 8:00pm
Sunday, 7/27/08, 4:30pm
The festival itself begins July 10th, and will feature around 130 individual plays. Fringe festivals tend towards the cutting edge of theater. These are artists coming together to present works they may not have the resources to present on their own. The Capital Fringe Festival is in its third year. Every show I've seen during the festival has been a huge thrill.. More information about the festival can be found here: http://www.capfringe.org/
Once this is over, I'll be around much much more!
