Corner Diary
School for Gifted Children presents: “Corner
Diary”
BATS Theatre, 10.45pm, Feb 22nd and
23rd, March 1st, 2nd, 8th and 9th
Corner Diary Media Release, Fringe Festival 2013
From the makers of (N)one Down (The Pit Bar, 2010) comes an ensemble confessional comedy. Using only genuine original embarrassing artefacts from our own pasts, a collective of performers will make you laugh, cringe, and cry as the expose their lamest secrets.
It’s not just a show. It’s a movement.
Over three weekends,
School for Gifted Children will present six late-night
laughter guaranteed shows at BATS Theatre.
Each weekend
is themed, to provide maximum content variety and hopefully
encourage repeat audience attendance.
Based on Seattle’s “Salon of Shame”, founded by Ariel Meadow Stallings.
A
taster from the three themes
FAME:
Hadley Donaldson’s 4 page fan latter to Claire
Danes he wrote when he was at Wanganui Collegiate; Alice May
Connolly’s poetry to Leonardo DiCaprio; Alex Lodge
profiles herself for a teen magazine (“favourite beverage:
water”)
FRIENDSHIP: Rose Young’s
diary about Mel Brown (“Mel’s mum told me to stop
calling the cat a slut”); Nell Williams’ teen rap crew
The Double Es
LOVE: Nick Zwart gets the
girl. Cherie Jacobson chronicles her love for herself.
Each show hosted by Jean Sergent, who will be sharing
some of her own shame as well.
This 10.45pm Friday and
Saturday night show will be the perfect late night laugh for
anyone who loves shame, voyeurism, laughter, over sharing
and too much
information!
