South For Work

Will Draw For Food

Written and performed by Dan McHale

Dan McHale — a Best of Fringe winner for Meet John WTO — takes us from bone chilling fog to steamy monsoon rain in his new monologue Will Draw For Food.
Developed in Charlie Varon’s solo performance class this spring, McHale, a cartoon animator, offers us a quirky meditation on drawing for money, working in India, and belting out a tune in a concert hall that looks like a Hindu temple.

Chile Con Amy

Written and performed by Kristian Ruggieri, a Habitat for Humanity volunteer and San Francisco improvisational comedy wunderkind. Ruggieri attempts to organize a volunteer build in South America and lead those who won’t be led by embracing her inner “jefa” (coordinator). Will inspirational quotes and a positive, flexible spirit be enough?
