Andrée Vermeulen: FRENCH TOAST
You are who you believe you are... right?* After applying for The Greatest French Person in the World Award, Andrée uncovers a dark family secret (she may actually be...Belgian!), and is forced to decide whether or not believing in something is enough to make it true.** Will she choose to keep the peace, or challenge the Vermeulen family name?
This show is based on a true story.
*If you believe that you are not in fact a human, but instead a giant talking carrot...um, don't panic. I'm pretty sure you're not.
**If you believe that in the year 2030, a million crystal orbs will fall from the sky and turn into our own personal unicorns, thus eliminating the need for modern transportation, and helping our planet's atmosphere and wildlife return to health, then... well, I'd love to believe it too... but I'm pretty sure it won't happen.
Written and Performed by: Andrée Vermeulen
Directed by Jim Santangeli
Videos by Bobby Chicago (Pete Shultz and Brandon Bassham)

Nick Ross: HIGHLY EVOLVED HUMAN
A joyous comedy about Nick Ross(actlikenick.com)coming to terms his cancer. Nick was 26 years old and a rising star in the New York City comedy scene when he was diagnosed with Hodgkins lymphoma. In his new show, "Highly Evolved Human," he acts out anecdotes, vignettes, and fantasies from his time spent in treatment. He must also literally make peace with his cancer, personified onstage by Leslie Meisel.
