IT'S ALL THE RAGE: NOT JUST ANOTHER FAMILY TRAGEDY- THIS ONE KILLS! by Marilyn Pittman
The Marsh is proud to announce Marilyn Pittman's IT'S ALL THE RAGE: NOT JUST ANOTHER FAMILY TRAGEDY - THIS ONE KILLS as part of its Festival of New Voices.
The two-week Festival is the culmination of The Marsh Performance Initiative, a nine-month model for performance development taking into account both the artistic development and the business aspects of developing new theater.
There will be six, new full-length solo works, all from up-and-coming performers, and 11 shorter works. Also, two established Marsh performers, Don Reed and Ann Randolph, have been invited to use the Festival as an impetus to start new work.
Each full-length piece will have four performances at the Festival. The shorter works will be performed twice each, preceding the full-length works.
Comedian Marilyn Pittman's parents died of a murder-suicide in 1997. Pouring through her mother's journals and her father's love letters, she asks the questions: Did they really love each other? Could we see this coming? Can I tell the funny parts too? The show is both a murder mystery and a story of survival. Pittman was one of the first openly gay comics in the city during the AIDS crisis, winning a G.L.A.A.D. Media Award for her courage. Her broadcast career as a talk show host, commentator, guest comic, producer, and consultant spans more than three decades. She currently co-hosts "Out In The Bay" on KALW.
Scheduled with the following shorter works:
BOARD POLICY 213 by Wayne Harris: Thursday, June 10
STUCK by Mark McGoldrick: Saturday, June 12
