Questions answered by Alex Bechtel.
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
PENELOPE started as an album I wrote during my pandemic breakup. If things get desperate I pledge to send one needy text to my ex for every ticket purchased.
Q2: If your show walked into a cocktail bar, what would it order?
PENELOPE feels like a whiskey girl. We’ve been in the states so long, bourbon feels right. But pour us a Scotch, neat. Happy to be here.
Q3: If you brought this show home for the holidays, how would your parents react to them?
“Oh, sweetheart the music is so pretty. But why is there only one actor? Are you hard up for cash? Do you need a little help?”
Q4: If all the shows running right now were at a massive Fringe house party, what is your show doing?
PENELOPE is in the kitchen mixing surprisingly-strong cocktails for everyone, charming the crowd, then getting the whole house crying while we sing love songs about our ex’s.
