I am thrilled to be performing “Slicing Oranges for the Exorcism” at the 2024 Elgin Fringe Arts Festival. The festival runs from September 21 – 29th and my performances will be Thursday 9/26, Friday 9/27, and Saturday 9/28 at 7:30pm in the BackSpace Theatre on the 2nd floor of the Side Street Studio Arts. Like last year, I am doing a short show, which means I will be paired with I will be paired with Benjolin player Stuart Tilton and Slapdash Theatre. If you don’t know what Banjolin is, think of the cool weird synthesizers used in 60s Sci-Fi. It was an absolute pleasure to perform in this festival last year. I learned a lot, I thoroughly enjoyed performing, and it was great to hang out with a lot of cool, creative weirdos.
“Slicing Oranges for the Exorcism” examines what fighting our demons accomplishes when spending time with them might serve us better. Delivered through poetry, micro-fiction, and signature smart-assery. Topics include personal mental health, communal madness, aliens, and police dogs. Adult language. BYO Orange Smiles.
Tickets are $12 + there is a $3 Fringe button required for entry into any of the festival shows. So $15, but if you plan on seeing any other shows, you only have to buy the button once.
