June 8-11: Performed with IRTE in Wow Wee! Adventures of a Little Girl Killbot Christmas Special! at the Atlanta Fringe Festival in GA. I came up with the original concept and played Andie the Android.
​
"Wow Wee! Adventures of a Little Girl Killbot Christmas Special! by IRTE is exactly what it sounds like, but (somehow) it's even more than that. Yes, it's a silly parody of 80's sitcoms, yes it's improv, yes it's Christmas. But the sinister undercurrent of the show, of having a character on stage that can murder everyone at any moment, gives the comedy of the show an urgency and drawns you in even further and, ugh, it's also so much fun. One last chance to catch this one, 2PM at 7 Stages, and we think you should go for it."
