Today’s Vancouver International Fringe Festival ticket giveaway is in support of two seperate productions.

Racoonery
Written & Performed by Morgan Brayton

“I hope you will come and see my new show. It is a collection of comedic character monologues interspersed with songs. I wear costumes. I think you’ll like it. I can tell you are a person who appreciates monologues/songs/costumes/thevalueofadollar. More info on Raccoonery! can be found on the Shows page. A preview of a few of the songs can be found on the Music page. Promotional photos of me can be found on the Press page. Man, do I have to tell you where everything is? Sorry, I didn’t mean to snap at you. I’m just tired.”

The winner will receive a pair of tickets for the opening night performance, September 9th at 6:45pm at Performance Works on Granville Island.

Dead Man’s Cell Phone
Written by Sarah Ruhl
“An incessantly ringing cell phone in a quiet café. A stranger at the next table who has had enough. And a dead man-with a lot of loose ends. So begins Dead Man’s Cell Phone, a wildly imaginative new comedy by playwright Sarah Ruhl, recipient of a MacArthur “Genius” Grant and Pulitzer Prize finalist for her play The Clean House. Dead Man’s Cell Phone, is an odyssey of a woman forced to confront her own assumptions about morality, redemption, and the need to connect in a technologically obsessed world.”

I have 5 pairs of tickets to give away for this performance tomorrow night at 11:00pm over at the Firehalls Arts Centre.

Please leave a comment to enter to win a pair of tickets to either show, simply state your preference in your entry. I will draw the winners tonight at 5:00pm.

Update My winner for Raccoonery! is Sir. The five winners for Dead Man’s Cell Phone are…SR, LG, Teresa, Lucy and Beth.
