Fresh from three months off-Broadway and command performances in Washington, D.C., Jack Fry presents his solo show They Call Me Mister Fry at the Lounge Theatre. A hit at venues across Los Angeles and at festivals around the country, Mister Fry is the true story of Fry's first year as a fifth-grade teacher in South Central Los Angeles. Alternately hilarious and poignant, the show tells the story of Fry's relationships with two particularly challenging students, his journey through the bowels of big-city bureaucracy, and his efforts to find his own place in the world. The show was selected as an Encore Winner at the 2011 Boulder Fringe Festival. Endorsed by Stephen Colbert, They Call Me Mister Fry evokes a gamut of emotions as you watch him relive his experiences onstage. Learn More

Description
Starring Judy Heneghan and Michael Halpin
With Peter Staloch and the Swizzle Stick Dancers
Experience Martini and Olive’s whistlestop medleys of hit 1970s pop songs, played out by two characters in costumes that should be considered crimes against humanity and backed up by a trio of middle-aged tap dancers whose credo is “overmedicated and ready to rock.”
See what the St. Paul Pioneer Press called “such deliciously, marvelously, intentionally appalling stuff that you’ll find yourself alternately holding your head in your hands and wiping tears of laughter out of your eyes. Shaken or stirred, Martini & Olive are a heck of a cocktail. These people know how to make us laugh. First time I saw them… I laughed so hard I also gave myself a hernia.”
