Q&A with Nora Vetter for October's Plus 1 Solo Show Festival - Series A

This fall, Tongue in Cheek has selected 8 solo show artists to take part in its tenth Plus 1 Solo Show Festival, which runs October 20, 21, 27 & 28.  For tickets and more, visit www.tictheater.com.

We recently interviewed Nora Vetter, whose piece, Unfinished Adventure, will be featured in Series A in the festival, running October 20 & 21.  Read on, and then go grab your tickets!

Nora Vetter, Unfinished Adventure-r!

What's a fun fact about you that isn't revealed in the piece? 
I was part of a clown troupe (my clown alias was Gumdrop) when I was in third grade. I even joined the circus (for a day) and to this day I can make balloon animals or rather variations on a dog.

If your piece were turned into a movie, describe the genre, ideal film director and any supporting cast or players you would cast?
It would be a comedy. And since it would be more of a coming of age type comedy the first director that came to mind would be John Hughes but alas I've missed my opportunity there. Cameron Crowe would definitely be a close second and I'm sure the soundtrack would be phenomenal! Speaking of the soundtrack though, the supporting cast would have to include the remaining members of The Monkees. Jake Johnson, Chris O'Dowd and Rebel Wilson would be on the cast wish list as well.

What do you hope to do with your piece after Plus 1?
My director, Rachel Dart, and I have already discussed the possibility of creating a separate full cast piece inspired by the completed screenplay referenced in the show. But rather than a film it would most likely start out on stage. And we are most certainly not opposed to that stage being on Broadway. :)

Awesome!  Thanks so much, Nora -- it's going to be wonderful to be a part of your adventure!
