First-person Bakersfield story explores racial prejudices using comedy
August 20th, 2014 | Posted by in uncategorized - (Comments Off on First-person Bakersfield story explores racial prejudices using comedy)Les Kurkendaal takes Nanaimo Fringe audiences to Bakersfield, California, where his lover’s family lives in all-white isolation
What happens when a man brings his male lover home to his family in Bakersfield, California, for the holidays? Oh, but this isn’t really the crux of the problem: the family has recently and grudgingly accepted their son Mike’s sexual orientation. The real problem begins as Les steps across the threshold of the family’s pricey, gated suburban home. Mike “forgot” to tell his family that his lover is an African American.

August 19th, 2014 | Posted by in uncategorized - (Comments Off on Erotic comedy explores gender and sexual stereotypes, late twenties angst)Adult-rated show at Nanaimo Fringe takes the audience into ‘jock boy’ and ‘square girl’ stereotypes, challenging everyone with questions about objectification and relationships
SQUARE: A Stage Pornography is an erotic comedy that explores the crisis unattached people face in their late twenties. Eternal high school jock and big-man-on-campus Thomas Pankratz is in a rut and doesn’t care. Smug and content in his extended adolescence, he happily goes about his daily business of being lewd, crude and clueless until the warm summer’s night he gets a surprise visitor – the girl he has dismissed for twenty years as dull and “square.”
The play is being performed at the 2014 Nanaimo Fringe Festival, at the Nanaimo Museum venue.

Young Nanaimo actors take the plunge, shine in very challenging roles
August 17th, 2014 | Posted by in uncategorized - (Comments Off on Young Nanaimo actors take the plunge, shine in very challenging roles)An explosive, deeply affecting study of alienation and the redemptive power of love, Danny and the Deep Blue Sea was written in 1983 but retains its funny, frightening, and hypnotic appeal
At a rundown bar in the Bronx two of society’s rejects strike up a halting conversation. Danny, whose fellow truck drivers call him “the animal,” is a self-loathing young man who resorts more to violence than reason. Roberta, who is still haunted by the memory of an ugly sexual incident involving her father, is a divorced, guilt-ridden young woman, distrustful of men. The possibility of a genuine relationship begins to emerge—the first for both of them.
