Comedy Killers Dinner Theater
Case of Romeo and Juliet and Isobella and Rosaline and Sally Jo
Questionable Love Quadrangle

Going into their 17th successful year performing around the nation, they return to the DFW Fringe Festival with two shows.

Up first is The Case of Romeo and Juliet and Isobella and Rosaline and Sally Jo. This show is the longest running, most popular and widely performed show in Comedy Killers, having been updated annually since 1994. This show was Shakespeare's wet dream, and is suitable for all ages.

Questionable Love Quadrangle made it's world premiere last year at the DFW Fringe and went on to be performed throughout the United States where it is coming back to rest. While this show is suitable for the entire family, it does contain adult situations as seen on prime time television. Parental Guidance is recommended.

Both shows feature fun plot twists of classic and contemporary mystery stories with great food and service, and all brought together by a very talented cast of actors and improvisers.

The Balthazar Show

Sparkle magic dancing dragon gravy taco griffin raptor rainbow time

Balthazar is a multi-media rock n’ roll extravaganza comedy!

The Balthazar show combines theatrical, musical, dance, costuming, and multimedia performance art, which is complemented by an abundance of visual props and audience participation. Balthazar examines adolescent themes of pop idols and middle school sentimentality in a very vaudevillian style complete with campy original compositions, chorography, and song parodies. The stage is shared with an array of other performers, including The Magic Gravy Force (dancers), The Thunder Voxes ( back-up singers), Unicorn Mafia (technical crew), Fury Masterminds (marketing design gurus), and other mystical creatures.

BALTHAZAR comes from the FURIOUS backwoods of Arkansas. Hatched in a laboratory. Born in a hospital. BALTHAZAR shed her skin and revealed her spandex scales, beginning her journey through the mystical, mayonnaise-filled earthly realm. Naturally armed with her abilities of comedy, rock, and flexibility, she fulfilled her destiny by becoming one with the FURY and unleashing herself on the world. BALTHAZAR is a prehistoric beast that can truly slay a dragon, ride a unicorn and take the kraken as her bitch! Prepare to have your face rocked off by BALTHAZAR!!!!!

This show runs under and hour and is suggested for mature audiences due to language.

Dead Girl Circus
The Gravest Show On Earth

The Dead Girl Circus is quickly building it's audience having haunted the Dallas Hub since their debut late last year. A wonderful mix of comedy, magic, sideshow attractions and fire, these four supernatural girls give you an experience you will not forget.

The Dead Girl Circus is a variety act based on comedy and 'tongue in cheek' themed horror. We have Andria Rin, who is a lich daemon, from the underworld, who has come forth to raise the other members and perform magic. Next is Kesi, an Egyptian mummy brought forth to seduce and enchant the audience with dance and skill. Back from the grave, Della the zombie will prove her impregnability with classic circus sideshow stunts. Last but not least, Llorona the resident ghost summoned from a séance, will perform circus feats while totally invisible. Each member will rotate with performances with two special finales. One finale on stage and the other outside as the audience leaves the theater. All acts would be TV appropriate, considered PG-13. The show is approximately an hour and a half.

The MET Theatre presents the World Premiere of
IF BY CHANCE
By Donnie Wilson
Directed by Bill Fountain

A moving drama about a biracial college student who strives to be judged by the content of his character and not by the color of his skin.

Directly inspired by our society's preoccupation with Barack Obama's ethnicity. President Obama, being a biracial man, has charged many to question how we think of and label race. Wilson wanted to present a work that would reveal a subtle truth about the cognitive frames that shape our thinking about the subject.

Motivated by a local teenage actor who had bouts of legal troubles before discovering acting, Wilson wrote this piece specifically for the young man. The combination of his inspiration and motivation resulted in "IF BY CHANCE."

Cast: Cameron Law, Perri Camper, Lisa Whitfield, Monique Vazquez, Janis Roscoe, Alan Jackson, Arnulfo Diaz, Kelley Settles & Malcolm Underwood.

PUBLIC WORKS THEATRE CO.
Presents the Regional Premiere of

Lower Ninth
By Beau Willimon
Directed by Catherine Hopkins

A powerful play inspired by the survivors Hurricane Katrina

"Few modern plays are so completely theatrical. Even in silence, the show feels alive, because Willimon and the creative team offer more than just dialogue and psychological conflict. They create a miniature universe in which every detail throbs
with meaning." ~Variety

PublicWorks Theatre and the Dallas Hub Theater are proud to present “Lower Ninth’’ at the DFW Fringe Festival. It is a powerful new play inspired by the devastating effects Hurricane Katrina. Written by Beau Willimon, this new drama will be directed by Catherine Hopkins (artistic director of PublicWorks and director of “Lord of the Flies” which made its regional premiere last year at the Bath House) and will feature David Jeremiah (TopDog/UnderDog and Hamlet/Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead) and Dallas stage newcomers Derrick Beasley and Manson Thomas.

Lower Ninth focuses on the story of two men stranded on a roof after a terrible storm. As Malcom and E-Z struggle to survive, they must battle heat, hunger and their pasts. Ultimately, their only hope for salvation rests with each other.

Beau Willimon has written seven full-length plays that have been developed or performed at venues including Ars Nova, MCC, HERE Arts Center, New Dramatists, and The DR2 Theatre. He is a recipient of the Lila Acheson Wallace Juilliard Playwriting Fellowship and the Lincoln Center Le Compte du Nuoy Award. Lower Ninth was included as part of Arielle Tepper’s 2007 Summer Play Festival and his play "Farragut North" has been optioned for Broadway by Jeffrey Richards. In addition to his work in theatre, Willimon is currently working on two feature films for Warner Brothers and one for Fox 2000. A resident of Brooklyn, Willimon holds an M.F.A. in playwriting from Columbia University.

PublicWorks Theatre is a new company inspired by new writing and challenging, contemporary adaptations of classic theatre and literature. Our mission is to make dynamic, ground-breaking theatre in order to inspire informed debate and creativity. We are committed to exploring outreach opportunities and finding new ways to extend social debate through theatre education. PublicWorks (in partnership with Risk Theater Initiative) was last seen at the Bath House Cultural Center at the 2008 FIT Festival with their production of William Inge’s “A Murder” and in January 2008 with a regional premiere stage adaptation of “Lord of the Flies.” The critically acclaimed production, with an all-youth cast set in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, played to sold-out houses and attracted a diverse audience of more than 1,000 adults and young people.

The show runs 1 hour and 15 minutes with no intermission
It is rated PG-13 for language and strong situations

SATER: My First Time
(Regional Premiere)

"I remember my first sexual experience. I was alone at the time!”
(Story #6509)

“I still have the Metallica shirt he wore that night.”
(Story #23960)

“File mine under clumsy and awkward!”
(Story #4294)

My First Time features four actors in hysterical and heartbreaking stories about first sexual experiences written by real people. In 1998, a decade before blogging began, a website was created that allowed people to anonymously share their own true stories about their First Times. The website became an instant phenomenon as over 40,000 stories poured in from around the globe that were silly, sweet, absurd, funny, heterosexual, homosexual, shy, sexy and everything in between. And now, these true stories and all of the unique characters in them are brought to life by four actors in this acclaimed 90 minute play from Ken Davenport, producer of Altar Boyz and creator of The Awesome 80s Prom.

SATER brings another premiere to the DFW Fringe for the forth year in a row featuring accomplished director David Lee Kelting making his DFW directing debut with a fine cast including Oscar Contreras, Matthew M. Fowler, JuNene K and Meridith Morton
