Speedthru
Written and directed by Jeremy Grimmer
IndyFringe 2015
Two actors, preparing for a rehearsal, are forced by the
company’s board of directors to do an immediate run of an obscure two-hour
classical play in forty-five minutes… without the rest of the cast. Confusion,
calamity, and chaotic cross-dressing ensue.
This is our 2015 IndyFringe offering performed at one of
the festivals new venues, the Firefighter's Union Hall at 748 Massachusetts
Avenue. (Right next to the beer tent!) Featuring the talents of Matt Anderson and Kate Homan,
and written by Jeremy Grimmer, co-writer of such ETC best-selling hits as 10x10
and Shakespeare Wrote What...?, this is one Fringe show you won't want to
miss!
Titus Andronicus
By William Shakespeare
Adapted and directed by Thomas Cardwell
October 2015
By transporting the characters and events of this play to
an unforgiving post-apocalyptic world, a world that is as violent as any of the
characters themselves, we explore the themes of family, revenge, and
legacy in a setting where loyalty to your tribe may be your only hope of
survival, and death could be waiting around every corner.
It's not gore or horror for gore's sake alone, but we do
not intend to shy away from the inherent violence - showing what we as
humans are not only capable of, but will devolve into, in the wrong
circumstances. The Indianapolis-voted number one show from last season's
10x10xYou, Titus makes for a perfect Halloween adventure.
Annual Winter "Fun"-raiser
Winter 2016
This is the spot where 10x10 normally goes, but this
year, ETC is switching it up a bit with something brand new! For now it is
top-secret, but stay-tuned for more fabulous details!
Mark Twain: How to tell a story
Selected stories by Mark Twain
Adapted & directed by Michael Hosp
Spring 2016
“Fresh and funny today as he was more than a century ago,
Mark Twain wittily distrusted everything bogus, inflated, predictable or empty.
He was a man of a thousand American parts — novelist, stand-up comic, travel
writer, impresario, capitalist, full-time celebrity, and coruscating social
critic — whose ear for dialogue, nuance, slang and absurdity seldom failed
him.” Brenda Wineapple, The New York Times.
For the first time, ETC will branch into the realm of
classic American literature. A cast of six (three men, three women — near the
beginning, middle, and end of their stories) will present a carefully crafted
collection of stories by Mark Twain.
A Midsummer Night's Dream
By William Shakespeare
Adapted and directed by Zack Neiditch
Summer 2016
Next summer ETC welcomes actor/director Zack Neiditch
(The Great Bike Race, Rocky Horror Picture Show) into the fold with his
exciting adaptation of William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Come see what he brings to that classic tale of lovers,
fairies, and rude mechanicals!
