A Fringe Quickie (#42) with ‘BearGirl’

Questions answered by Emery Schaffer + Kate Stamoulis.

Q1: Aside from this Quickie, what is the most desperate marketing tactic you plan on using to get bums in seats this August? 280 chars

Running around in a bear costume! If you see a mysterious woman dressed as a grizzly bear on the Mile, in the Meadows, at the pub…it’s us. And we want you to come see our show!

Q2: If your show walked into a cocktail bar, what would it order?

A shot of a tequila and a punch to the face— one to get the job done, and one random act of violence for no reason.

Q3: If you brought this show home for the holidays, how would your parents react to them?

They’d probably say: “What??? Are you sure??? What ever happened to that nice Shakespeare play you dated last summer??? They were so uncomplicated!”

Q4: If all the shows running right now were at a massive Fringe house party, what is your show doing?

We’d be lurking in the corner waiting for someone to come talk to us, but we’re WAY too shy to start a conversation ourselves. But we really want you to talk to us. Seriously. Save us from ourselves. Please.
