World of Theater Explored in The Fool and the Red Queen
- Full Price:
- $25.00
- Our Price:
- $12.50
In the latest comic meditation from renowned playwright Murray Mednick, The Fool and the Red Queen experiments with archetypes to explore human nature and the processes of theater. A struggling actor named Gary finds himself at a nightmarish audition where the audience discovers the magical ability of the theater to create new realities -- in this case, a darkly funny and improvised play-within-a-play similar to Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and Marie and Bruce. Driven by poetic impulse rather than linear storytelling, The Fool and the Red Queen is a ruefully funny, lyrical look at the theater and the natural elements that drive us all. Learn More

This improv comedy troupe adds stripping to the zany characters and situations of the sketches they put together. This adds a sexy and dangerous element that makes the comedy more fun. As a man, however, I wish there were more women than men, but that's a minor complaint.Written on Mar 13 2006

Description
<p>ScripTease, the World's only stripping improv troupe, now into its 9th year of producing high-risk, risque improv comedy, was founded by and Johnny Davis & Sara Lovelady in Santa Cruz, California. They wanted to "up the stakes" by instigating consequences for their actions. They also wanted to introduce and lure people into the live theater who don't consider themselves "theater-goers." So they came up with stripping improv.
The troupe encourages the audience to hang out in the lounge with them after the show to have some wine, beer and refreshments while often times groovin' out to a live musical guest.
ScripTease is very proud of their benefit work for many causes such as the Second Harvest Food Bank, funding for brain tumor research, aid to numerous 9/11 charities, and fund raising to keep local small theaters running.
Over the years ScripTease has had many Teasers leave their laundry on stages all over Northern California. And now the Los Angeles Teasers are ready to scatter their scivies onto the stages of Southern California.
Come expose yourself to comedy!</p>
