ATL Fringe: The Buzz Intro Interviews
The Buzz Intro Interview | Cynthia Millhorn
“I’m here to resurrect ghosts in a long and rich sisterhood of storytelling.”
The Buzz Intro Interview | Sushi and the City Production
“What I’m most proud of is that it’s a multicultural comedy which still holds up after all these years.”
The Buzz Intro Interview | Mixed Revues
“The fact is that the things happening in Florida and elsewhere can have devastating effects on real people’s lives. This show lets you cheer on one of those people fighting back.”
The Buzz Intro Interview | Twinhead Theatre
“If you want to relax in an air-conditioned theater for an hour and see the bastard love-child of Tennessee Williams and Aaron Spelling–Rottenwood is the show for you.”
The Buzz Intro Interview | MerryCat
“I believe that allowing artists to be ruled entirely by their creative instinct, as opposed to what will sell tickets, can result in some of the highest quality work possible.”
The Buzz Intro Interview | Couch House Collective
“We’re inviting our audiences to come and play –– this is not a “sit down and watch” theatre experience. We’re asking for your help. Mops and Grimey are going to save the planet, but they can’t do it without you.”
The Buzz Intro Interview | TurnerMagic.com
“My hope is that beyond just enjoying a show of magic and mentalism, you’ll leave with your curiosity about yourself and the world in a slightly itchier state than when you came in.”
The Buzz Intro Interview | Adrenaline Ent.
“The Fringe embraces experimental theater. That’s a perfect fit for my diabolical, creative mind.”
The Buzz Intro Interview | Outlawed & Out-Of-The-Box Productions
“There was once upon a time that people were terrified of electricity – something we heavily depend on today. By re-contextualizing that fear and introducing a non-binary character, I hope to show that we need not be afraid of change – even if it’s uncomfortable.”
The Buzz Intro Interview | Then What
“This piece is all the way we care for the most vulnerable parts of society and the ways in which we are all closer than we might like to admit to being in those positions ourselves.”
The Buzz Intro Interview | DREAMCATCHER ENT
“Men and Love can sometimes be like two ships passing in the night. We all need love. I would submit that we all want love. But we also all get the opportunity to defines what love means to each of us.”
The Buzz Intro Interview | We Are Conquerors of Domestic Violence, Inc.
“If survivors identify with the show, if people who are behaving abusively out of ignorance are inspired to change, then the show will have the impact that I hope it does.”
The Buzz Intro Interview | Doyle Smiens
“The last few years have made me value the opportunity to perform onstage with a live audience. I don’t want to take that for granted. I want to be present each moment I am performing.”
The Buzz Intro Interview | Errol McLendon
“My mother dealt with Alzheimer’s the last 27 months of her life. When she passed away, I took a month long road trip in her memory. The thoughts that travelled with me became this piece.”
The Buzz Intro Interview | Performance Gallery
“There are people who thrive on the experience of sound. Movie soundtracks stick with them as much as the visual elements, maybe even more. We wanted to create a piece to delight those types while encouraging everyone else to take a few minutes to BE one of those types.”
The Buzz Intro Interview | CrashMat Productions
“It’s punk theatre, man. As an adult, I’ve spent more time going to see indie music than live theatre. That’s why I really dig fringe festivals. They’re basically South by Southwest for theatre.”
The Buzz Intro Interview | The Naughty Rigatonis
“Summer is synonymous with fun, laughter, and a devil-may-care ‘tude, and that is what we’re interested in bringing to audiences.”
The Buzz Intro Interview | LakeHouseRanchDotPng
“My Grandmother and I have never had a full conversation with one another. Which sucks. I wrote this piece as a way to tell her how much I love her”
The Buzz Intro Interview | Megan Stern
“I became obsessed with the subject of multi-level marketing companies, and I decided a home makeup sales party was a rich setting for a comedy show.”
The Buzz Intro Interview | Jamie Campbell
“I wanted to create a positive stand-up comedy show. Comedy is often very cynical, and I think the world has been through enough. We’re exhausted by the negative energy that we’ve all collectively been living through.”
The Buzz Intro Interview | Vulva Va-Voom & Co.
“We specialize in combining high-brow intellectual references with the lowest, most oversexed frat-boy humor. It’s a pungent blend, but we’re amazing at what we do.”
The Buzz Intro Interview | Scout and friends
“As a Latine man dealing with eating disorders and constantly working to be in a good mental health space, these are not things that have ever been discussed in my family, so I wanted to start the conversation.”
The Buzz Intro Interview | SHP Productions
“I feel so blessed that my performers, mentors and fellow creators have embraced this project as much as I have. It would not be possible, or near as much fun, without them!”
The Buzz Intro Interview | Grackle Jack Productions
“We decided to go back to the beginning, back to the Garden of Eden, and start over. But this time from a feminist satirical clown perspective.”
The Buzz Intro Interview | Charles Parrott
“If I can crack open my calcified feelings and pour them out and stage, there is hope for all us to be a little more honest with ourselves.”
The Buzz Intro Interview | Improvisational Repertory Theatre Ensemble
“I grew up watching and loving 80s sitcoms. I thought it would be fun to use the Small Wonder concept, throw in some Terminator, Frankenstein, even bits of Thornton Wilder’s “Skin of Our Teeth” and round it out with some “Christmas cheer.””
The Buzz Intro Interview | World Laughs/Marcus Ryan
“By merely sharing my experiences of travel I’ve learned that I can teach others, motivate and entertain all at the same time. It’s a powerful tool and I appreciate the warm reception I’ve received.”
The Buzz Intro Interview | Syreeta Briggs
“Let’s face it. The last few years have kinda sucked. It’s about time we have a good laugh.”
