Marilyn Pittman's It's All The Rage won Best One-Woman Show at the 2011 United Solo Festival, the world's largest solo performance festival, in New York City. Trying to understand the tragic true story of her parents' murder-suicide in 1997 after a fifty-year marriage, the G.L.A.A.D. Media Award-winning comedian tells of poring through her mother's journals and her father's letters, asking: Did they really love each other? Should we have seen this coming? Can some humor be mined out of these dark truths? The result is this powerful -- and powerfully funny -- play.

Kurt Bodden's Steve Seabrook: Better Than You at The Marsh

Full Price:
$15.00
Our Price:
COMP - $7.50

Veteran comedian Kurt Bodden assumes the role of master motivator Steve Seabrook at The Marsh. In this hilarious parody, which was a hit at the 2012 New York International Fringe Festival, Bodden plays a joyously inane self-help guru who takes you to a safe, nurturing place of empowerment to figure out why you are so disappointing. Steve Seabrook doesn't want you to change, he wants you to blossom into a You that's "Better Than You." A veteran comedian and actor, Bodden has trained in sketch comedy at The Groundlings, warmed up audiences for The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn and performed improv at the Edinburgh Fringe.

excellent, honest, hard hitting, creative effort. ms. pittman tells it like it is, unburdens herself, and takes the audience with her on her sad, poignant, powerful journey.

DO NOT MISS THIS. She is brilliant and full of emotion; she takes you along on a very intense ride.
I went last night, and was startled that it wasn't filled up, after seeing her performance.
I think that there's only a couple of weeks left.
It has been well reviewed in the media as well, which is why I went...I think that her subject matter may have scared some people off, but I am here to tell you that she does it with grace and well-timed humor.

I don't care what her current crazy therapist thinks, I think reliving this day after day, month after month, can't be healthy. If you're looking for a pure fun night out this isn't it. If you want to go through angst along with the actor, this is for you. Interesting evening. Funky little theatre in the mission.

Marilyn finds the humor in a horrific situation. At times a bit uncomfortable but also funny. She's a great story teller.

Description

Marilyn Pittman grew up in a funny family. And then her dad shot her mom. And then himself. He was a WWII vet, she was a passive-aggressive poet. The ‘greatest generation?’ Nah. Love is deadly. It could happen to you. Pittman survived it. Mostly. And she's a comic.

Marilyn Pittman’s It's All The Rage won Best One-Woman Show at the 2011 United Solo Festival, the world’s largest solo performance festival, in New York City. It is ‘the funniest show you’ll ever see about murder-suicide.’ 28 scenes in 60 minutes; a tour de force of acting, stand-up, and reading from her parents’ love letters and journals. This show is recommended for ages 18 and older.
