THE "FUNKY" FOH-TY PASS AT CAPITAL FRINGE 2010!


Landless fans, the 2010 Capital Fringe Festival is right around the corner. We know you’re already planning to attend CARRIE POTTER AT THE NEW MOON PROM, but finding the right combination of shows to see at Fringe can be overwhelming.


Well, look no further, because Landless has put together a “one-stop shopping” package for you: we call it THE FUNKY FOH-TY PASS! Simply visit capfringe.org and select the FOH-TY PASS (4 tickets for just $50).


When it comes time to select your four productions, we have compiled the following list of shows that we think REPRESENT THE BROAD SPECTRUM OF FUN THEATRICAL EXPERIENCES YOU LOVE. They also all play in CLOSE GEOGRAPHICAL PROXIMITY at Studio Theatre and Playbill Cafe (14th and P NW), and FEATURE MANY OF THE ARTISTS YOU HAVE LOVED IN PREVIOUS LANDLESS PRODUCTIONS!


PICK NUMBER 1: THE LUNATIC FRINGE

The Von Pufferhutte Family Singers! (the musical)

presented by I Like Nuts! (the company)


Venue: Studio Theatre - Mead Theatre

Landless alumni: Josh Speerstra (High Fidelity, Cannibal and many others), Jen Speerstra (Diamond Dead, Spooky Dog and many others), Nick Greek (Spooky Dog), Chris Davenport (Director of Cannibal), Timothy R. King (Cannibal, Gilligan’s Island, Psycho Beach Party)


From the producers of “I Like Nuts! (the musical)” and “Captain Squishy’s Yee Haw Jamboree! (the musical)” A wacky romp that will force you brain to bleed with joy! Follow the Von Pufferhuttes as they struggle to find fame and fortune in American. See the less than true story of the not talented or successful Von Trapps. 75 minutes”


With so many of the minds behind our production of CANNIBAL! THE MUSICAL involved, we can absolutely guarantee that you’ll laugh your ass off at this show!


PICK NUMBER 2: BETWEEN ROCK AND A DARK PLACE

The Horrors of Online Dating

presented by Molotov Theatre Group

Venue: 1409 Playbill Cafe

Landless alumni: Alex Zavistovich (Cannibal, Renaissance), Kevin Finkelstein (Night of the Living Dead), Genevieve James (High Fidelity)


A gory musical comedy with sex, drugs, and puppets about a killer who finds her victims through dating websites. Molotov Theatre Group (Pick of the Fringe 07' Best Comedy, 08' Best Overall) and playwright Shawn Northrip (07' Best Musical) collaborate. 90 minutes”

This is Molotov’s first musical production, and teamed with creator Shawn Northrip (Titus X, Cautionary Tales for Adults), it should be on everyone’s “must see” list. It promises to be a gory good time.


PICK NUMBER 3: GEEKFEST '10


Super Claudio Bros. - The New Video Game Musical

presented by Charlie Fink

Landless alumni: Karissa Swanigan (Evil Dead, High Fidelity, many more!), Stephen Gregory Smith (High Fidelity), Gillian Shelly (Fictitious, Diamond Dead)


This new musical comedy takes our heroes - and an ass kicking princess - on a quest to overcome man-eating plants, spiky killer mushrooms, and a neurotic, love-starved homicidal purple platypus. Features original animation, puppets, and eggplants! 90 minutes”

Landless supporter Charlie Fink has assembled a top-notch team of artists in what might be the coolest premise for a musical in ages. Don’t miss your chance to catch CLAUDIO BROS. on the ground floor, this could be the start of something big.


PICK NUMBER 4: POP CULTURE CAMP


Carrie Potter at the New Moon Prom

presented by Landless Theatre Company


"Teen witch Carrie Potter battles bitchy classmates and the seductive power of Jesus Christ ("He Who Really Shouldn't Be Named") in this satirical send-up "everything geeky," featuring Lucrezia Blowzia! From the producers of DIAMOND DEAD!" 70 minutes

Our perennial recipe for drag and camp escapades: put Twilight, Potter, Carrie and every angsty teen flick ever made in a blender! This summer’s production welcomes Nora Palka and Jed Breckenridge (Perez Hilton Saves The Universe), as well as Clay Comer (“Ash” in Evil Dead).


STILL NEED HELP?


Ok, we'll spell it all out for you.
