In the Q-Box: Jarrod Jabre
Incompetent storytellers, angry peasant mobs, Germans, metrosexual emperors and a frisky nun, The Life and Times of Martin Luther (Reformed) tells the story of a monk with hemorrhoids who sparked the movement that changed the world, in a little over an hour.
Life and Times...playwright and director, Jarrod Jabre steps into this special Fringe-inspired Q-Box to answer our always informative, albeit mostly ridiculous, questions.
What's the best thing about Fringe?
|
We're not restricted to being a polished, Broadway-ready corporate show. We're allowed to do real theatre; raw, in development, borne of a love of the art rather than the need for a paycheck.
|
What's the #1 reason people should come see your show?
|
Friskay nuns!
|
Do you have any opening-night rituals?
|
Nothing special for opening nights, no. We do gather as a cast and crew to sing/scream the Limp Bizkit version of "Faith" before going on stage, though. I'd say it was a "company secret," but chances are, if you're in the audience, you can hear it. We scream pretty loudly.
|
What are the craziest performance conditions you've had to work under?
|
Probably these, where we have two days of rehearsal (total), and they happen to be the two days before we open at Fringe.
|
How did you get involved with the arts?
|
I've been doing theatre since I can remember..not sure about the others, but my guess is the story's pretty much the same.
