In the Q-Box: Jill Dion

A youthful twist on a classic Russian comedy. The Studio Six Ensemble performs with a nod to their roots at the Moscow Art Theater. As Glumov claws his way up in society through trickery and slander he unwittingly writes his own demise...

Too Clever by Half actress, Jill Dion, steps into this special Fringe-centric Q-Box to answer our always informative, albeit mostly ridiculous, questions.
