Character Box by James Jamison
What do a Minnesotan housewife, an enthusiastic librarian, and an obscure poet have in common? That's just what Theodore Talbot wants to know! After a mysterious box of character files shows up in his office it becomes his personal obsession. Monty Python meets Pee Wee's
Playhouse in this solo, interactive, multimedia marathon of costume changes starring Pittsburgh comedian, James Jamison.
About the Performer:
James Jamison migrated from his homeland Beaver County to Pittsburgh nearly nine years ago to study video production and theatrical design and never left – it's a city you fall in love with. While here, he has always gravitated towards the performing arts - both on stage, doing improv comedy (Steel City Improv, Arcade Comedy, Unplanned Comedy), and off stage, writing plays and building sets (Into The Mirror Productions, Pittsburgh Savoyards, 12 Peers). James can be seen performing with Mary Stewart in the improv duo, We're Fine, and with the sketch comedy troupe, The Big Deal. Drawing inspiration from something as simple as a wig or a bowtie, James builds entire characters walking the aisles of thrift shops or hunting around yard sales. This is his Fringe debut.
