ET Isn't Fringing, But We Know Who Is

After posting info about the show actor Emily Gunyou Halaas is about to appear in, ET got curious about other Fringing artists who have joined the journey with ET.

Here's a rundown of a few we found:

Sarah Gioia, who staged Kid-Simple: a radio play in the flesh in 2006, directs Steve Mould's comedy Buyer's Remorse. Mike Hallenbeck (below in a photo by Kevin McLaughlin), who designed sound for A Corner of the World and who won an Ivey-Award for his designs for Kid-Simple and Hunger, contributes sound.

Kari Kelly (below with Maren Bush in a photo by Kevin McLaughlin), who appeared as the sword-swallowing Mary in Tallgrass Gothic in 2006, appears doubly, you might say, in Boobs.

Katharine Horowitz, who assisted Mike Hallenbeck on Kid-Simple and contributed her own design last year to Tanya Barfield's Blue Door, designs for Bard Fiction and Monster.

Nathan Christopher, who gave "satyr" a whole new meaning with his costume design for Kid-Simple (see Jerome Yorke and Joe Swanson below in a photo by Kevin McLaughlin), has penned The Flickering Wall.


Apparently Catherine Johnson (wigged below in a photo by Jennie Batten) can't get enough of dead famous people. Having appeared as a re-capitated Jayne Mansfield in ET's 2005 Fringe production of Dead Wait by Carson Kreitzer, she returns to the Fringe in Something Witchy.

Katie Willer, who appeared in ET's inaugural production of The Presence of Children, stages Aaron Chrisopher's Livelihood.

Allana Olson, who has been a stage manager for multiple ET shows and who designed properties for Hunger and Jesus Hates Me (smattering below), returns to the Fringe as a venue tech.

Wade A. Vaugh (below in a photo by Jennie Batten), who joined Catherine Johnson in limbo for Dead Wait, gets a little famously dead himself in The William Williams Effect.

And finally, Matthew Everett, who wrote for ET's 2005 Auction Play, continues his role as the ubiquitous and perceptive blogger for the Fringe.

We're glad these folks have joined us. Now join them this week!
