Still Your Friend

All Hail Mrs. Satan—Creative Manitoba

Why would a woman be dubbed Mrs. Satan by the press? For making a fortune? Running for President?

Adam Bailey (The Life Henri, Franz Ferdinand Must Die) turns their particular and peculiar lens for history onto the life of Victoria Woodhull who (never heard of her?) was deliberately erased from the records after running for president in 1872.

Bailey’s award-winning takes on true stories have been called funny, thoughtful, user friendly, and a total delight.

But Mrs. Satan? Damn Good!

ImproVision

ImproVision: Nicolas Cage Match—Duke of Kent Legion

An Apology:
Sorry, ImproVision won’t Face/Off against Nicolas Cage in the Fringe. We made that up.

This, according to our lawyers, is a good time to say: as improvisers, we make stuff up. So instead of grappling with the Oscar-winning star of Willy’s Wonderland, we’ll wrestle with Nic Cage-inspired short-form improv using suggestions, super soakers, puppets and phones.

So, no Nicolas Cage. Probably. The Cagey One has done weirder gigs than the Fringe, so…?

Sincerest apologies,
ImproVision
