Check this out if you can: I'm in a show called
Kid Simple, an excellent modern fairy tale:
Moll, a girl who invents things, wins the science fair with a machine for hearing sounds that can't be heard. But when a shapeshifting Mercenary steals the invention (and her heart), she must embark on a quest to save noise as we know it. Accompanied by the last boy-virgin in the eleventh grade, Moll crosses chasms and rafts rivers into a world where sound is always more than what meets the ear. A quirky fable of innocence and experience, featuring live sound effects, mutinous onomatopoeia, and a host of woodsy temptations.
I play, literally, the role of "live sound effects, mutinous onomatopoeia" as The Foley Artist and sound designer for the show, running the whole sound plot from a station on stage. It's been one of the most novel theatre experiences I can remember. All through February, hope to see you there!
