A Fringe Quickie (#135) with ‘Spinster’

Questions answered by Frankie Regalia.

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

Look, the show is about changing the public’s view on the word “spinster”. I am trying to FIGHT negative stereotypes. But it’s fringe, so I will steal your firstborn, curse your house, and/or main your prize donkey if you don’t come see the show.

Q2: The Fringe is horribly expensive. How are you financing this run? Did you remortgage your house, sell your granny, or start an illicit side hustle?

Spinning straw into gold, duh.

Q3: We all have weird pre-performance rituals. What is yours, and how confused would a normal person be if they walked in on you doing it?

I don’t think running lines with my raven or reciting the names of every sheep I’ve ever known as a tongue twister is a weird ritual….

Q4: How will the audience remember you the morning after?

Good stories, great hair, ominous vibe.
