Cinnabar's Solo Mio Festival
A theatrical showcase festival of solo performance artists
PRODUCER: Cinnabar Theater presents "Solo Mio Festival"
WHAT: Cinnabar's Solo Mio Festival
Cinnabar's Solo Mio Festival illuminates the compelling nature of solo performance that exists between one performer onstage and the audience, celebrating the beauty and immediacy of story-telling in this theatrical showcase spotlighting comedians and solo performers Fred Curchack, Will Durst, Dave Pokorny, Johnny Steele and Clark Taylor.
Fred Curchack - Synthesis
When Fred Curchack is on stage, imagination knows no limitations – a true theatrical virtuoso.
Fred Curchack has created seventy-six original theatre pieces. He has received the Gold Medal at the International Festival of Solo Theatre, the American Theatre Wing Award, and his work has been Best of the week in the L.A. Times, Top ten of the year in The New York Times, Top ten of the decade in the
Austin Chronicle, and Top ten of all-time in The Dallas Morning News.
Will Durst - Uncertain Times Call for Uncertain Leaders! enter: The Lieutenant Governor From the State of Confusion Sworn enemy to tyrants, foreign and domestic, nominated for 5 Emmys & 7 American Stand-Up of the Year Awards, never won a thing. Durst, sworn enemy to tyrants, foreign and domestic, has managed to patch together a half way decent quilt of a career via syndicated columns, radio and television commentaries, stand up comedy, stage and screen acting, talk show hosting, voice-overs and now the book. Nominated for 5 Emmys and 7 nominations for the American Comedy Awards Stand up of the Year, he has yet to win anything. Even a toaster for crum’s sake.
Dave Pokorny - Based On A True Story
A (mostly) true journey of one man’s life as he attempts to procrastinate finding his calling.
For a full decade Dave Pokorny toured the U.S. as a working stand-up comic, however after his first daughter was born he no longer wanted to tell jokes to strangers in bars for money. After seven years as a stay-at-home dad he still doesn't want to just tell jokes, but he’s realized he has a lot more to say than, “Hey, put that down...leave your sister alone...because I said so that’s why...and pick that up!”
Johnny Steele - Johnny’s Inferno
Fast talking, semi-improvisational, sometimes controversial, always funny.
Johnny Steele is an entertainer best known for his fast talking, semi-improvisational, sometimes controversial, comedy performances. Johnny, a former winner of the San Francisco International Comedy Competition, is also a former bay area radio and television host. Currently Johnny is working on a solo
show and The BOOMERS! a three-man skit and sketch comedy revue about coming of age in the sixties and seventies.
Clark Taylor - Mad'Ville
A mad romp through junior high school and small town life in Louisiana in the 1960’s and 70’s.
Clark is a long time storyteller and stand up comedian in the Bay Area. He worked as a screenwriter in LA and earned a Masters in US History from San Francisco State before returning to the stage. He recently completed work on an environmental documentary entitled Deep Green slated for a September 2009 release. He currently resides in Fairfield, California.
