Overview

THE DICS ARE MISSING! All of the private eyes have disappeared, in SMOOTH, Fringie Award Winner Dan Kitrosser’s new queer musical send-up (and take down) of the Film Noir. Mildred Von Der Fulpuss is nervous but hiding something when she knocks on the door of the last private dic in the seedy neighborhood of Skidmarcke to try and track down her husband. But you see, PI WIlly Blough hasn’t taken a case in years (his shins hurt!), but there’s something about Miss Von Der Fulpuss that pulls back him in, down into the underbelly of Skidmarcke, to find out where all the dics went. Come see last year’s Fringie Winner for Best Cabaret Dan Kitrosser as he inhabits all of the roles in this mystery that will keep your head spinning, as he puts the ME in FemME fatale.

With over 100 offerings from rebellious circus, delicious dance, fearless theater and activist art to workshops, parties, and more Cannonball pushes the boundaries of live performance at four different venues this Fringe.
