A Fringe Quickie (#189) with ‘The Lady Doth Protest’

Questions answered by Nealy Glenn.

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

Sending our accordionist – Will – to serenade crowds with power ballads until folks buy tickets to make him stop 🙂

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

A spicy bloody mary spiked with smoky mezcal, served in a vintage teacup and garnished with a cocktail skewer sharp enough to stab someone.

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?

Terrified. My cast member and I went to Grad School at NYU together and we might be caught shaking our jaws intensely as if in an exorcism while repeating “Red Leather, Yellow Leather” over and over from our lower bellies.

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

Like a brilliant, lingering hangover. They’ll wake up with a sudden urge to dismantle the patriarchy, a tune from a manic accordionist score stuck in their heads, and a distinct appreciation for women who absolutely refuse to sit down and shut up
