CYRANO A-GO-GO at the 2015 Out of the Loop

2/18/2015

0 Comments

 
Brad McEntire in CYRANO A-GO-GO
CYRANO A-GO-GO is an exploration of one restless theatre artist's fascination with the swashbuckling 1897 play Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand. A chance encounter with the script at a suburban public library at the age of 15 leads to a cruel and wonderful calling. Presented as an old-school oration the piece mixes the personal, historical and literary into a journey through Rostand's play. McEntire presents a funny, warm, insightful meditation on the nature of theatricality, the nobility of personal identity and the hard-won lessons of love, unrequited and otherwise.

Roberts' Eternal Goldfish

Winner! Best of Fest at the 2014 Out of the Loop Fringe Festival
ROBERT'S ETERNAL GOLDFISH
Written and Performed by Brad McEntire

In this solo show by Brad McEntire, the audience comes face to face with Mr. Robert J. Roberts. Roberts has a huge problem with people. All people. One day he becomes the unlikely custodian of a magical goldfish and Mr. Roberts' misanthropic view of the world is seriously challenged.

McEntire's an expert at swimming solo onstage, charming the audience with sly looks and inventive storytelling.

Robert’s Eternal Goldfish works, and McEntire does everything perfectly in his writing, only overshadowing it with his stellar performance in it!

Like a cross between Seinfeld’s George Costanza and comedian Lewis Black.

One of McEntire’s many talents is being able to couch very real meditations on life into extraordinary stories.

Show Descriptions:
ALLERGIC ME -- written and performed by Kennedy Waterman; directed by Jeff Swearingen. For 13-year-old Waterman, a peanut is a huge deal. Her monologue, accompanied by a short film, chronicles her challenges and her ongoing battle to beat severe peanut allergy.

BOUNCING UGLY -- written and performed by Danny O'Connor. A series of stories about the hopes and struggles of an actor working a night job as a bouncer at NYC's rough-and-tumble Coyote Ugly bar.

THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM -- written and directed by Bruce R. Coleman; performed by LisaAnne Haram. The vice principal of a middle school, at the end of her tether, confronts the mother of one particularly nasty student, giving her a reality check.

I BROUGHT HOME A CHUPACABRA -- written by Brad McEntire; directed by Ruth Engel-McEntire; performed by Lauren Moore. A young woman finds a semi-mysthical beast on a hike and brings it home. During the next few days she is forced to figure out why she connects better with animals than people.

MELVA TOSTI ATTENDS CAREER DAY -- written and performed by Andi Allen. Aging opera diva Melva Tosti is invited to speak at Mario Lanza High School Career Day. Answering questions off cards, Madame Tosti shares stories of her life as the "Diva Formaggio."

OSTINATO -- written and directed by Natalie Gaupp; performed by Katie Weekley. With the Yeats poem "He Who Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven" as background, a meaningless but obsessively consuming act -- making mac and cheese -- becomes a metaphor for a life devoured by banality.

SHE ALWAYS PICKED ME -- Written and directed by Kate Lowry; performed by Dillon Sherrod. A look at love and what happened between friends.

TYLER'S MOM -- written by Benjamin Schroth; directed by Greg Phillips. Tyler's mom is having a rough morning. She sits down at the kitchen table and unloads on topics of life, death and pets.

DINOSAUR AND ROBOT STOP A TRAIN

4/10/2013

Picture
Brad McEntire's newest play DINOSAUR AND ROBOT STOP A TRAIN will world-premiere at the 2013 Festival of Independent Theatres (FIT) at the Bath House Cultural Center June 7-22, 2013.

A press conference is held. A robot from the future and a dinosaur from the past address their experiences of being rudely sucked through time and space to our present, how they saved a little girl who had been stupidly playing in the path of a speeding train, and what they plan to do now that they seem to be stuck in the 21st Century. 

DINOSAUR AND ROBOT STOP A TRAIN is a contemporary take on the Theatre of the Absurd from the 1950s with its broad comedy, touches of Vaudeville, mixture of the horrific or tragic, characters caught in hopeless or confusing situations, dialogue full of nonsensical wordplay and repetition as well as just flat-out parody or dismissal of realism.

The Bath House Cultural Center is located at 521 E. Lawther Drive, Dallas, TX 75218.
Map link HERE.

Performance dates and times are:
Friday, June 7 @ 8 PM
Saturday, June 8 @ 2 PM
Sunday, June 9 @ 5 PM
Friday, June 14 @ 8 PM
Saturday, June 15 @ 2 PM
Saturday, June 22 @ 5 PM

Tickets and other info at: http://festivalofindependenttheatres.org/
