Fountain City Sketch Comedy - August 2014 Performances
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Ben Auxier, Director/Producer for the KC Improv Company - 816-510-7889
ben@kcimprov.com
Brand new sketch comedy coming to Westport!
Fountain City Sketch is coming to the stage of the Kick Comedy Theater for a limited 3 performance run of their second all-new, all-original hour of sketch comedy. The troupe of comedians is composed of director Ben Auxier [pronounced: ock-sure], and 8 writers, 6 of whom also make up the cast.
Fountain City premiered its first show in April of 2014 to very positive response. Their energetic comedy stylings run the gambit from smart, to "blue," to totally absurd, taking influence from such sketch as Saturday Night Live, Key & Peele, Monty Python, Amy Schumer, and lesser-knowns such as Superego. The show will run August 2nd, 9th, and 16th at 10:00pm at the Kick Comedy Theater, which is located at 4010 Pennsylvania, between the Westport Coffee House and Green Room Burgers and Beer.
Each night's show will follow an 8:00 improv show, with themes and format varying week to week. The 8:00 show is 90 minutes and the 10:00 sketch show is 1 hour.
These shows contain some strong language and sexual themes, must be 17 to enter, 21 to drink. A selection of beer, wine, and liquor will be available for purchase right in the theater, and burgers, fries, and other menu items can be purchased at the Green Room and brought in.
The writers and actors of Fountain City Sketch have extensive involvement in KC Theatre and improv comedy, including the KC Repertory Theatre, the Heart of America Shakespeare Festival, the Living Room Theatre, and regular performances at the Kick with the KC Improv Company. Several members have performed in comedy festivals all over the country, including Chicago, Philadelphia, and New York. Some have played comedic roles in both local and national commercials.
Director - Ben Auxier
Assistant Director/Writer - Tim Marks
Writer/Actors - Brian Huther, Kate Haugan, Kenzie West, Bobby Miller, Seth Macchi, Chris Fuston
Associate Writer - Michelle Leatherby
Stage Manager - Maggie Cargill
Tickets for Fountain City Sketch as well as any of the 8:00 shows are $10.

Brand new sketch comedy coming to Westport!
Fountain City Sketch is coming to the stage of the Kick Comedy Theater for a limited 3 performance run of their second all-new, all-original hour of sketch comedy. The troupe of comedians is composed of director Ben Auxier [pronounced: ock-sure], and 8 writers, 6 of whom also make up the cast.
Fountain City premiered its first show in April of 2014 to very positive response. Their energetic comedy stylings run the gambit from smart, to "blue," to totally absurd, taking influence from such sketch as Saturday Night Live, Key & Peele, Monty Python, Amy Schumer, and lesser-knowns such as Superego. The show will run August 2nd, 9th, and 16th at 10:00pm at the Kick Comedy Theater, which is located at 4010 Pennsylvania, between the Westport Coffee House and Green Room Burgers and Beer.
Each night's show will follow an 8:00 improv show, with themes and format varying week to week. The 8:00 show is 90 minutes and the 10:00 sketch show is 1 hour.
These shows contain some strong language and sexual themes, must be 17 to enter, 21 to drink. A selection of beer, wine, and liquor will be available for purchase right in the theater, and burgers, fries, and other menu items can be purchased at the Green Room and brought in.
The writers and actors of Fountain City Sketch have extensive involvement in KC Theatre and improv comedy, including the KC Repertory Theatre, the Heart of America Shakespeare Festival, the Living Room Theatre, and regular performances at the Kick with the KC Improv Company. Several members have performed in comedy festivals all over the country, including Chicago, Philadelphia, and New York. Some have played comedic roles in both local and national commercials.
Tickets for Fountain City Sketch as well as any of the 8:00 shows are $10.

Dangerous To Dance With by KC Playwright Bill Rogers at KC Fringe Festival
SEX, GREED, AND SELF-DECEPTION!
VICTOR RAIDER-WEXLER STARS IN DANGEROUS TO DANCE WITH AT
THE KANSAS CITY FRINGE FESTIVAL
Martin Tanner Productions presents veteran stage, screen, and
television actor Victor Raider-Wexler
(www.imdb.com/name/nm0706838/) in the world première of
Kansas City playwright Bill Rogers' new dark comedy at Off-Center
Theatre during this year's Kansas City Fringe Festival.
In Dangerous To Dance With, a paranoid playwright, a broken
acrobat, a porn star, a neurotic farmer, and a plumber, who may be
a hit man, meet in a secluded Missouri farmhouse. Together they
face one of life's most pressing questions: should they laugh or
should they die?

television in Seinfeld, Everybody Loves Raymond, The King of

Bottom and Gypsy and on the big screen in Pursuit of Happyness

A Master Class in Clown: Skill Integration with The Submarine Show
Byrd Productions in collaboration with the Kansas City Fringe Festival is delighted to present:
A Master Class in Clown: Skill Integration with The Submarine Show
Can you burp the alphabet, sing opera, play the kazoo, decorate a cake, solve a rubics cube, fold a paper crane,
dance ballet on point, stand on one hand, or make fart sounds in your arm pit?
Any skill can be a vehicle for narrative.
This master class in physical theatre, lead by former Cirque du Soleil performer Jaron Hollander
and Emmy Award winner Slater Penney, explores how tricks and narrative can be combined
to create truly virtuosic performances.
At the Just Off Broadway Theater,
3051 Central, KCMO 64108
10:00 - noon
Saturday, July 26th
$30 - Get your tickets at www.byrdproductions.org

Jaron Hollander, International Circus Artist and native to the east bay, has many titles including Clown, Acrobat,
Aerialist, Actor, Director, Coach, Master Teacher and Artistic Director. Jaron has been performing professionally for
32 years, a fact that is even more impressive considering he is only 40 years old. He has spent the interim time
performing around the world with many companies including Cirque Du Soleil, Make*A*Circus and Flynn Creek
Circus. He has made quite a mark in Northern California's performing arts scene as a Co-founder of both Berkeley's
Impact Theatre and Mendocino's Flynn Creek Circus. Jaron is known as an accomplished teacher having taught
theatre and circus arts all over the bay area at well known schools including the Clown Conservatory, Cal Shakes and
Berkeley Repertory's Theatre School, Sacramento Theatre Company and Splash Circus just to name a few.
For Slater Penney, variety is the spice of life. He is a national and international award winning performing artist,
choreographer and instructor, his biggest award being an Emmy in 2001 for work as a motion capture specialist with
Tech TV. He graduated from UC Santa Cruz in the Theatre Arts, studied circus in San Francisco and Oakland, and
furthered his professional training at the Dell'Arte International School of Physical Theatre. Slater has performed and
toured with Gamelan X, Make*A*Circus, Lunatique Fantastique, and The Crucible's Fire Operas. He has two devised
works of physical theatre: "Le Projet Migration," with his wife Christine Germain, and "The Submarine Show," with
Jaron Hollander. He's excelled as a teacher, including the San Francisco Circus Center, Marin Theatre Company, the
Berkeley Rep school of Theatre, and the Kinetic Arts Center in his credits. He is now Preschool Director at Luna
Gymnastics, offers classes and private lessons at the Berkeley Rep School of Theatre, and performs as often as is
possible.

Announcing Season 26
BLUEBARN Theatre Announces Year 26: Season of the
DIG!
The BLUEBARN Theatre is excited to announce its
26th season. This will be the final season in the
current space at 614 S. 11th Street before moving
to the new theater at 10th and Pacific. The
BLUEBARN broke ground on June 23rd and will be
moving into its own home for the 2015-2016 season.
The BLUEBARN Theatre is proud to present its 26th
Season:
AMERICAN BUFFALO
By David Mamet (October 2-25, 2014)
In a Chicago junk shop three small time crooks
plot to rob a man of his coin collection, the
showpiece of which is a valuable "Buffalo nickel".
These high-minded grifters fancy themselves
businessmen pursuing legitimate free enterprise,
but the reality of the trio is that they are
merely pawns caught up in their own game
of last-chance, dead-end, empty pipe dreams.
Mamet's gritty drama was produced in the
BLUEBARN's inaugural 1989-1990 season.
EVERY CHRISTMAS STORY EVER TOLD (and then Some!)
By Michael Carleton, James Fitzgerald, and John K.
Alvarez (November 28-December 21, 2014)
Sponsored by Omaha Steaks
They're Back! Theresa Sindelar, Ben Beck, and Bill
Grennan reprise their hilarious characters in this
fast, fond, and furious look at the holiday
traditions we all remember, and a few we'd like to
forget! From Tiny Tim to the Grinch, from Frosty
to It's a Wonderful Life, nothing is spared in
this rollicking tour de farce!
BLUEBARN SPECIAL EVENT:
STANDING ON CEREMONY: THE GAY MARRIAGE PLAYS
By Mo Gaffney, Jordan Harrison, Moises Kaufman,
Neil Labute, Wendy MacLeod, Jose Rivera, Paul
Rudnick, and Doug Wright (January 8-10, 2015)
Two little words, and suddenly your whole world
changes. An A-list lineup of writers offers unique
takes on the moments before, during and after "I
do." Witty, warm and occasionally wacky, these
plays are vows to the blessings of equality, the
universal challenges of relationships and the
often hilarious power of love."CEREMONY puts a
human face on a hot-button issue and delivers
laughter and tears rather than
propaganda." —BackStage.
BAD JEWS
By Joshua Elias Harmon (February 19-March 14,
2015) – Regional Premiere
Described as a comedy about the holy and the
holier-than-thou, Bad Jews is the story of Daphna
Feygenbaum, a "Real Jew" with an Israeli boyfriend
she met on a Birthright tour. When Daphna's cousin
Liam brings home his shiksa girlfriend Melody and
declares ownership of their grandfather's Chai
necklace, a vicious and hilarious brawl over
family, faith, and legacy ensues.
OUR TOWN
By Thornton Wilder (May 7-June 7, 2015) – Winner
1938 Pulitzer Prize for Drama
"While all of Wilder's work is intelligent, non-
synthetic and often moving, as well as funny, it
is Our Town that makes the difference. It is
probably the finest play ever written by an
American." —Edward Albee
Day in and day out, Grover's Corners is Any Town,
USA. The paper is delivered, the milkman visits,
time passes and life continues. It is only when
such routines are interrupted that the fleeting
beauty of the everyday is brought more clearly
into perspective. Join us as the Stage Manager
guides us through this elegant portrait of the
ordinary but remarkable joys and sorrows that
define our lives. Our Town is the best
American play celebrating the magic that makes a
community.
