ONE LAST CHANCE TO SEE AMAZING THEATER

Back last fall Glen Allen Pruett and Patricia Ansuini returned home to Detroit and presented it with a gift: their production of  The Madness of Oscar Wilde by Sebastian Melmoth.

After their short run, they went home to Chicago and worked on the production some more - and now they're back, this time across the river at the 2010 Windsor International Fringe Festival. Little birds have told me that the show is even slicker and more powerful now than it was several months back - which doesn't surprise me, given Glen and Pat's dedication to their craft and this particular project..

The problem, though, is audiences have been a bit slim - which is a shame, because what I saw at Planet Ant last year was an amazing piece of theater.

So if you want to treat yourself to an evening of great theater, the final performance of the run is late this afternoon at 5 p.m.. Here are the details:

The Madness of Oscar Wilde by Sebastian Melmoth by Glenn Allen Pruett and Patricia Ansuini is scheduled to perform at the Windsor International Fringe Festival at the Pentastar Theatre, 121 University Avenue West, Windsor, Ontario. Tickets are $9, plus a one-time purchase of a Windsor Fringe button ($3). For complete information, call 519-258-9887 or log on to www.windsorfringe.com.

And here's a link to a recent interview with Glen: http://www.encoremichigan.com/article.html?article=3260

if you decide to check it out, I'd love to hear what you think about the show...
