Blue Over You at CapFringe
Donation protected
Best Medicine Rep is a professional theater company dedicated to producing comedies, and to the artistic, educational, and cultural development of Gaithersburg and Montgomery Village, MD. We've been invited to mount our first production at the Capital Fringe Festival in Washington, DC in July 2017: Dan Noonan's hilarious Blue Over You.
Synopsis:
Where's Mitzi? An enchanting high school drama teacher discovers that his wife is missing. Was it his infantile behavior? The hunky maintenance man? Or is something darker at work? Join this song-and-dance man as he tries to find Mitzi and woo her back.
Why are we here?
To entertain. To bring joy. To foster community and learning through shared laughter. To lighten our shared burden of existence for a short while.
Why comedy?
Broadly defined and properly presented, comedy encompasses all of human experience. It can make us laugh and make us cry. It can bring joy and it can bring anger. It makes us think and makes us forget. It exalts and ridicules. It can divert, and it can focus. Comedy levels life’s playing field.
Why theater?
Story is that which gives comedy context. It is what allows empathy and purpose. Performed stories (theater) provide for the communal experience, the shared joy of laughter that we seek to achieve. Theater brings a community together, eliciting pride and engagement, a sense of ownership and cooperation.
We believe that the comic theater is the cure for what ails us. But, having declared the above, we would like to make one thing clear: Shakespeare is dead. And if we see another production of A Midsummer’s Night Dream, we will collectively puke.
