Fit at Fringe: A smash hit!

PFTC WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR MAKING FIT: A new play a SMASH HIT
AT THE 2011 NEW YORK INTERNATIONAL FRINGE FESTIVAL.

Hear what the critics had to say -

"Austin’s dialogue, Ross Evans’s direction and three fine actresses keep things interesting and unexpected"
-Heather Lee Rodgers, nytheatre.com

"A high level of writing and acting, compassionate direction, and a live string trio playing traditional Scottish songs combine to create an original and involving look at three generations of women.' *BACKSTAGE CRITICS PICK
-Robert Windeler, Backstage

In addition, Fit was selected by Nytheatre.com to be a part of their Best of the NYC Fringe series. We are proud to announce Erin Austin’s play Fit will be published with IndieTheatreNow this fall.


Also, look for a past PFTC hit appearing on IndieTheatre Now soon. More details on all of this coming soon.

Nytheatre.com checks out Fit

Nytheatre.com asks us about Fit and we spill.

Nytheatre: What does your show sound like?

Erin Austin: Jonathan Cody White has arranged some gorgeous modern takes on traditional Celtic tunes that are performed live by our actors and musicians in Fit. The audience hears this play through the ears of Mary, the show's protagonist. She is a twenty year old American woman in Scotland for the first time. The resulting sound is Celtic, mystical, and foreign tinged with a modern American feel.


NyT: People who like your show would also like which famous movie or tv show?

EA: Fit has the sexy Scottish slums appeal of Trainspotting. It deals with addiction and mental disorders in a similar fashion to Showtime's Nurse Jackie- with humor. And if you like plays that are just a step to the left of realism- where the magical and the musical can happen, you will enjoy Fit.

NyT: Your show is the only one in 2011 FringeNYC that...

EA: is about the power of Celtic Women – raving influences in the hearts and minds of men and future generations.

NyT: Groucho, Chico, Harpo, or Zeppo?

EA: Harpo. Just like that Marx brother with his harp, in Fit we use music to make you laugh. Hopefully we also use music to make you think and keep you entertained.

Season Wrap-Up

Well guys, PFTC has officially ended is first real season. And what a season it was.

We began with the "Get a Clue" Festival at Bar 82 in November. We brought together artists of all kinds for two weeks of crazy ten minute play making.

In March, we moved to Under St. Mark's Theater where we did a reading of Fit by Erin Austin- a play that was accepted into the NYC Fringe Festival and will be performed this August!

Following, Fit was a reading of Team Awesome by Ross Evans. And it was...awesome. (USM)

May was all about Single's Night. 7 writers, 7 solo plays, and a sold out show!(USM)

Get ready for Fit this summer. We also have a couple of surprises up our sleeves.
