Loosely based on Leonid Andreyev's 1915 classic He Who Gets Slapped, Circus Welt makes its world premiere at the Whitefire Theatre. Set in 1933, the drama revolves around a German traveling circus made of up of Jews, blacks, gays and a communist, who hope that the growing Nazi storm will blow over. Then, a mysterious stranger arrives, asking to be a clown. Learn More
A truly memorable experience, moving, funny with characters and stories that stay with you long after the show is over. Highly recommended.
We know that our brains end up looking like fried eggs on drugs but it's a more pleasant outcome when we get "Fry'ed" by this intoxicating performance. A true tour-de-force by a surprising young talent who takes on the evil that lurks in the White House and tells like it is...the Darth Vader of no-child left behind has met the force and Mr. Fry it is. This is truly a masterpiece solo performance that will keep you riveted to your seats.
I almost missed 'Mr Fry' because Ive grown to hate one person shows. I dont begrudge anyone their opportunity to spin self-indulgent tales of their comically tortured childhood I just don't want to see them anymore. So, having been annoyed so many times, my preference to seeing most one person shows would be to stay home. Or even to shoot acid into my eyeball. Anything. I was more than pleasantly surprised at the proficiency with which Mr. Freiberger gave life to the many characters in his journey as a teacher in the LA school system. I was with him every step of the way in this captivating, gripping, and hilarious naration. This is definitely a must-see performance; don't miss it!
