Q&A with Jennifer Fisher, writer/performer, Plus One Solo Show Fest (April 7&8)!

Our 2013 season starts this week! Hurrah!

Smart and scrumptious.

Starting Thursday, The Mistakes Madeline Made runs for 7 performances, April 4-6 and 10-13 (Tickets). During the dark nights of Madeline, we feature 4 solo shows and a singer/songwriter with our ninth Plus One Solo Show Festival, April 7-8 (Tickets).  All shows are $18, begin at 8 pm, and run at The Bridge Theatre @ Shetler Studios (244 West 54th Street, 12th Floor, NYC).

The first thing you realize when you meet Jennifer Fisher is that she is one smart, stylish woman.  Her piece, SBF, laments a series of interactions she has with men one rainy night in NYC, and she recalls it all with wry wit.

We asked this talented solo show artist a few questions about her process.

What is your writing and rehearsal process like?
The rehearsals dictated writing changes and I went back and forth.  My rehearsals are all about trying different approaches to make sure the audience sees me at my most free and impulsive.

If we made your solo show into a movie, who would you cast as you?
I'm can't think of a famous black actress who'd be willing to do this.  If she's out there, she's British.  And smart.

Editor's note: perhaps Thandie Newton?

If your solo show were a baked good, what it would it be, and why?
A scone, because it's scrumptious.
