MODERN ATTITUDES in association with THE TORONTO FRINGE FESTIVAL PRESENT:

“Annabelle’s Tails from Jail”

Annabelle is a country girl whose bad times are all around her – „cause jail is big! But that‟s ok, „cause she likes new experiences and now that she no longer is stalking the man she loves or seeking revenge on those she doesn‟t, she spends a lot of her time in the jail‟s liberry, “Did you know that the Grand Canyon has an edge of approximately 1,066 kilometres? That‟s way more edgy than Adam Lambert‟s eye liner!”

Annabelle is a white trash alt country singer/guitar player who finds herself in jail on “excusable” homicide charges. She tells her story about jail life, family life and life with The Biter – the man who got away – almost – through singing and talking with the audience.

A Full Length Belly Dance Spectacular

For centuries, Belly Dance has classically been an art form designed at entertaining revelers at parties and dinners. The Sisters of Salome have taken Belly Dance to great new heights, lifting the art form from restaurants and parties to a soft seat theatre telling a full length story, a concept usually reserved for the ballet.

The Sisters have chosen a truly enchanting tale to tell in this offering.  Long before Disney came along, Hans Christian Andersen’s classic fairy tale The Little Mermaid delighted audiences first in print, then opera, ballet, many animated versions and even a TV version starring Shirley Temple as The Little Mermaid.  The Sisters have gone back to the original story published in 1836.  Continue reading The Little Mermaid – Toronto Fringe 2012 Press Release →
