Boston Fringe presents

50% Nonverbal

By C. Neil Parsons

Interdisciplinary performance artist C. Neil Parsons offers a solo variety show that is part storytelling, part TEDtalk, part musical act, and part physical theatre. In between musical/choreographic interludes with a trombone, Neil relates *mostly* true stories about his personal relationship to silence, what happens when his sleep alter-ego takes over, and why an experimental composer created music in pictures without telling anyone how it should sound.

 

Bass trombonist, dancer, and actor C. Neil Parsons has spent a lifetime on stage, appearing in his first professional theatre production at age three. Extensive touring has taken Neil to theaters and performing arts centers in 45 states and to dozens of Fringe Festivals across North America and Edinburgh, Scotland. Neil teaches in the Theater, Dance, and Music divisions of Boston Conservatory at Berklee.

Me’leven

By Grace Elin

Me’leven was originally conceived as a short and performed on the Rockwell stage as part of the Boston variety show, The Kerfuffle. After receiving such a positive response, Grace Elin decided to expand the short to a full length one woman show for the Providence Fringe Festival last summer. Finding the balance between comedy and tragedy, Grace explores a few intimate moments of her life through a handful or stories, in hopes to inspire her audience to do the same. Sometimes life gives us the opportunity to take a leap, and it is in those moments when we are truly channeling our purest joy, our inner strength, and our 11yr old self. Having Me’leven return to the stage where it was created is undoubtably another moment in Grace’s life that has turned to 11.

 

Grace Elin is a Boston native who dabbles in all facets of performance, comedy, and life. Find her currently exploring it all and sharing her discoveries @graceelinftw on Instagram.
