DESCRIPTION: A loveable band of unemployed steelworkers in Buffalo, NY cook up a hilarious scheme to reinvigorate their bank accounts and their self-confidence by becoming a male striptease act. But it won’t be easy…between learning to dance, dealing with body issues, and revealing the plan to their wives, the men must expose more than their bare bottoms to make their plan a reality.

Based on the hit film of the same name, THE FULL MONTY is full of heart, humor, and the most highly anticipated closing number you’ll ever see at the theatre. Get ready to hoot and holler as the guys “let it go” in the finale performance you won’t forget.

CFF_Wilderness Survivaljimmygrzelak.com

About the show:

  • Where best to pee.
  • How to live in someone’s house without them being aware.
  • The spiritual significance of Tang (TM).

Jimmy Grzelak is an Eagle Scout, spiritual voyager, and “winningly offbeat imagination” (Washington Post). Sometime in the early 2000s, somewhere in rural America, young Jimmy was initiated into the ways of a world ruled by adolescent boys. In 2017, older Jimmy woke up and realized that knowledge is now nationally relevant. He comes to Cincinnati to do his duty as a scout – to serve as your guide into the wild.

Creator Bio
Jimmy Grzelak is a practical theologian and theater artist. Immediately after turning in his final college paper, Jimmy launched the U.S.-Canada tour of his solo show mostly about the Boy Scouts titled HOW TO BE A TERRORIST (DCMTA Best of Fringe). In 2013-2014, he spent one year traveling Eurasia by train, living with and learning from some of the newest religious groups in the world with the support of a Florence Chandler fellowship, which funds 365 days of independent study and international travel undertaken with “imagination, moral sensitivity and resourcefulness.” In 2015, Jimmy developed – in collaboration with NYC-based set designer Cate McCrea – a touring gastro-liturgical event, ST. JIMMY CELEBRATES “The Food at Our Feet” (DCTMA Best of Fringe, Favorite Solo Show, Favorite Performer, Favorite Show; Pittsburgh Fringe National Award). Now, Jimmy lives in Philadelphia, performing and working on projects there and elsewhere.

Press for Jimmy’s previous touring fringe festival works

“Wunderkind of weird… a force of nature, a kind of cynical Peter Pan…the eerie spirit child of Brian Wilson and Yma Sumac.” -Washington City Paper

“A winningly offbeat imagination.” -Washington Post

“Balls.” -Mobtreal.com

“In awe… reminiscent of Freddie Mercury. ★★★★★ ” -DCMTA

“Smart, nimble-footed humor… keep an eye on him – it will certainly be worth following him down the next trail.” -DC Theatre Scene

CFF17: ZELDA AND HADLEY: TOGETHER AT LAST

CFF_Zelda and Haldey_1x1ZELDA AND HADLEY: TOGETHER AT LAST
Part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival ’17
Art Academy Commons
Over-the-Rhine

Written and directed by Eileen Elizabeth Earnest

Cast: Elizabeth Chinn Molloy as Hadley Richardson & Alison Rampa as Zelda Fitzgerald

ZELDA AND HADLEY: TOGETHER AT LAST – the entirely fictional, absolutely true story of what happens when F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway’s wives have had enough of their husbands’ philandering ways and get even using a radio drama. To begin, the audience decides which literary masterpiece to tackle. The ladies then improve that story by playing all the characters, creating all the sound effects, and reminding the audience that “hell hath no fury…” Also, there’s gin.
