Today at the Fringe, it’s your last chance to see a pair of shows from Canada, we give you a good reason to see Atlantis Bones, and Star Wars nerds have their day in the sun. It’s everything you need to know about Wednesday at the Fringe, and finding it all is just a click away.
New Today:
Grounded, by Andrew Ullrich
We don’t know what Grounded is about, and we don’t know who Andrew Ullrich is. Here’s what he’s given us to go on: “What do a ninth grade geometry class, a late night trip through Maryland and a young man’s search for Identity have in common? Something. I’m sure of it.” Well, he seems pretty confident. [Goethe-Institut, 6 p.m.]
Living, from Livespace
Livespace, a performance art collaborative featuring dancers, composers and visual artists, hails from New York City and have been doing their thing since 2004. Their Fringe piece takes the participants’ own life stories and sends them on an contact-improv collision course with one another. [Calvary Baptist Church – Woodward Hall, 7:30 p.m.]
One-Man Star Wars Trilogy, Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company
One man. One hour. And absolutely zero minutes spent dicking around with obscure trade pacts, vague CGI-racism, and the crapulent acting of Jake Lloyd. Charles Ross stars in the most buzzed-about offering at the inaugural Capitol Fringe. [Woolly Mammoth Main Stage, 8 p.m.]
Recurring and Recommended:
DCist loved Short Works About Dangerous Devotion and Jay Alan Zimmerman’s Incredibly Deaf Musical. If you haven’t checked them out yet, go get some. Short Works is in the Woolly Rehearsal Hall at 7:45 p.m. tonight, so if you can’t get in to see Charles Ross do his thing, there’s no need to go home disappointed. JAZIDM has the late night slot at the Canadian Embassy, 10 p.m.
Tonight is also your last chance to peep a pair of plays that tore up the Edmonton Fringe Festival, Never Swim Alone and Spring Alibi. As you might expect, both of them are also at the Canadian Embassy, 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. respectively.
