Mary Poppins is a Butterfly
June 7, 2010
The Hollywood Fringe Festival’s list of shows is quite long, providing ample opportunity to see theatre that’s at least interesting, if not mind-popping. One hopes, anyway.

“I was going to direct a one act, but I thought the rehearsal space and insurance were beyond me, financially. “It is always a challenge to put up your own show, without the mixed blessing of a theatre group to help you do it–Also, I really wanted to act in something, so I decided to develop Mary Poppins is a Butterfly into a longer piece (it runs about an hour), with some video (some original, some taken from the web) and slides (also some of my own, and some found online). I participated in Slideshow at The Fake a couple of years ago, and I liked presenting my work so much better with odd visuals to help break up the story and sometimes jog it into another, perhaps unexplored corner…
“MPisaB can be called a comedy about a serious subject matter. Some of the events it is based on are taken from my own life. The piece examines a young girl’s first brush with spirituality and sexuality, and how she connects the events in a way that makes sense for her.
“Even though we are only on the one night, we have a fully realized set, which currently is specific to Art|Works Theatre. I hope the concept will serve our show in future performances.”
