Producer/host Maria Vasquez Boyd welcomes Mitch Weber & Michelle Matlock with the KC Fringe Festival, Karen Williams & Pete Ruhl, and comedian Carlos Chamon.
MITCH WEBER Communications Manager & MICHELLE MATLOCK playwrite/performer with the KC Fringe Festival. We have our Fringe Presents show coming up Oct. 6th-15th and we would love to arrange an interview with Michelle Matlock about her show “The Mammy Project,” which will be the headlining show for Fringe Presents.
Fringe Presents The Mammy Project at the Westport Bowery, 817 Westport Rd. Created and performed by Michelle Matlock. The Mammy Project digs up the dirt on the century-old icon of Aunt Jemima. The bandanna’ed superstar of minstrel shows, Hollywood epics, and the breakfast nook is re- imagined from her dark history in the antebellum south, freed from the humiliating role for talented black actresses, and set loose from her pancake box prison on an unsuspecting audience. Michelle Matlock, a character actress and physical comedienne extraordinaire, digs deep into her own experience, American history, and a twisted imagination to deliver a personal, political and ridiculously entertaining exposé. Oct 6, 7, 13, & 14 – 8pm Oct 8 & 15 – 2pm
