PHAMALY PRESENTS ITS 2010 FALL STUDIO SERIES
VOX PHAMALIA: TRIAGE
AT THE AVENUE THEATER
PHAMALY presents “VOX PHAMALIA: TRIAGE,” the latest in the company’s Fall Studio Series. It is an original show written by the members of the 2010 PHAMALY Writing Workshop, and is a unique, funny, yet brutally honest look at living with disabilities by the people who do. Built on the success of PHAMALY’s 2008 studio presentation of “Vox PHAMALIA: Tales from the Crips,” and last year’s sold out hit “Vox PHAMALIA: Re-Dux,” this year’s offering is the culmination of a 12 week sketch/Improvisational comedy and dramatic workshop series led by well known Colorado Director/Playwright Edith Weiss. This year’s participants are: Edith Weiss (Director/Head Writer) and Jeremy Palmer (Assistant Director/Writer). The Writer/Performers are: Laura Alsum; Briana Berthiaume; Susanne Brasset; Donnie Gabenski; Stephen Hahn; Rennie Hart; Twanna LaTrice Hill; Amber Marsh; Don Mauck; Lyndsay Palmer; Gregg Vigil; Ruth Ann White and David Wright.
VOX PHAMALIA Studio Series is the result of an annual writing-to-performing development workshop, designed for PHAMALY members to explore the process of writing an original piece, having it selected and taken to performance. The theatrical devices of improvisation, sketch comedy, dramatic story telling and music are all used in the workshop process. Select scenes that have been further developed and refined from past years will also be included in this year’s show.
