Comedy Showcase Fights Racism Through Laughter
The Most RACES Show on Earth! Comes to Murfreesboro, TNfor One Night Only!
Tuesday, Oct.2, 2012 – Tickets on Sale Now!
Murfreesboro. TN – Sept.19, 2012 –Racial stereotypes, ethnic clichés and culture differences will be at the forefront on October 2 as The Out Front on Main Theatre hosts one of North America’s most entertaining multicultural comedic showcases, The Most RACES Show on Earth! (MRSOE!).
MRSOE! is a stand-up comedy show that examines racial and ethnic differences through the lens of laughter. After selling out numerous venues in Canada and the United States since 2005, MRSOE! is embarking on its first tour across the southeastern U.S. The show in Murfreesboro is one of 16 stops.
“The Most RACES Show on Earth! helps us to better understand one another. The barriers between cultures cannot be easily dissolved; sometimes it’s actually the shock value of a lot of the jokes that inspires people to start thinking. The more we realize our differences, the more we are the same because we all laugh at the same things,” says Neil Bansil, creator and producer of MRSOE!.
This show features a rotating cast of seven funny and edgy comedians from various ethnicities including: Noah Gardenswartz (Jewish-American – 2012 Bay Area Comedy Competition Semi-finalist); Mia Jackson (African-American– Writer for 2011 BET Soul Train Awards); Viet Huynh(Vietnamese-American – 2009 Southeastern Funny People Search Winner); Daniel Tirado (Polish-Peruvian –Montreal’s Just for Laughs), Rob Haze(African-American – Laughing Skull Lounge); Trixx (Ghanaian-Canadian – NY Comedy Festival); and Neil Bansil (Filipino-Canadian-American– Creator MRSOE!).
The Most RACES Show on Earth! takes place on Tuesday, October 2, at 8:30 p.m., at the Out Front on Main Theatre. Tickets are $10 and are available at the door. A portion of the proceeds from each show will go towards the YWCA Stand Against Racism initiative. For tickets, visit www.mrsoe.comor visit the Out Front on Main Theatreat 1511 East Main St.

A Review of the Regional Premier of Tracy Letts’ Bug at Out Front on Main, Inc.

The Very Witching Time

by Marcus Luche

Paranoia Proves Catching at Out Front on Main
To continue their stated mission of brining edgy, thought-provoking theatre to the Murfreesboro scene, Out Front staged the regional debut of Bug by Tracy Letts as their October offering. Helmed by George Manus, who undertook the daunting task of creating the show with two distinct casts, Bug invited the audience to join protagonists Agnes and Peter in their descent into madness and paranoia. It was an invitation that, given Manus’s on-point direction and the cast’s fearless performances, the audience simply couldn’t refuse.

Both casts of “Bug”

Leading lady Molly Breen was fascinating as Agnes, a young divorcée who has taken up residence in a rural motel room. The sometimes claustrophobic stage provided by Out Front was brilliantly utilized to heighten the imposing sense of Agnes’s space. Invited into Agnes’s world was Peter, a Army veteran whose experiences in the Middle East left scars that continue to haunt him, played by Andy Woloszyn. The chemistry between Breen and Woloszyn was perhaps a bit hesitant at times, but ultimately it was believable as Agnes accepted Peter’s conspiracy-laden view of reality.

As foils to the oddly poignant relationship between Agnes and Peter, Goss, Agnes’s ex-husband, and R.C., her protective friend, provide some context for the play’s growing paranoia. Buddy Jones was truly refreshing as Goss; this role was very much a departure from his normal fare, and I was quite impressed with his demonstrated versatility as an abusive and belligerent addict. Tara McBay also delivered a solid performance as R.C., whose protective tendencies regarding Agnes were touching. Rounding out the cast was Hudson Wilkins in the role of Dr. Sweet, the psychiatrist who had treated Peter during the period leading to the opening of the play. Wilkins’s performance was both disturbing and effective; it was not difficult to see the appeal of Peter’s delusions in the light of Sweet’s subtly manipulative machinations.

It is worth noting that Out Front on Main continues to push the boundaries of local theater by refusing to shy away from performance elements like nudity. This is not to say that nudity is being used for shock value, but rather that Manus should be applauded for presenting scripts in their intended form, one not expurgated to fit more easily the mores of local audiences.

The attention to detail – both of characters and of the environment in which they find themselves—in Bug was most evident. From the characters’ nuanced explorations of fear and loss to the articulate set dressing, Manus deftly crafted a production that was perfect for this haunting time of year.
