Fahn Field in
association with Thom Rivera to Present
July 11, 2005
Coming
off a months-long engagement in Los Angeles, Jennie Fahn is bringing her
“sassy...solid...sharp” (Backstage West) one-woman show YOU MUTHA! A One Mother
Show to the New York International Fringe Festival. Performances will be at Dixon Place, 258
Bowery, 2nd Floor and will begin on Friday, August 12th
and will continue through Saturday, August 27th.
YOU MUTHA! is a candid show about motherhood that offers up all the gory (and
hairy) details - no diaper is left unturned.
Jennie
Fahn irreverently takes on motherhood in this sexy, energetic romp for anyone
who is a mother, or has one. YOU
MUTHA! has been playing in L.A. for over a year to
packed houses and strong critical response - Heather Rich of the Santa Monica Daily Press wrote “Fahn manages to
transform herself into one mother after another, somehow resonating with each
and every member of her audience.
Whether she's rhyming hysterically or dancing maniacally, you can
literally feel her commitment to the subject at hand.” LA Stage Magazine spotlighted her as
"an actress worth making the trip for,” and Canyon News called Fahn,
"the little dynamo…she's one mutha worth visiting!”
Jennie's
Los Angeles stage appearances include The Wild Party (Musical Theater
Guild), Anyone Can Whistle (Matrix Theater), A New Brain (West
Coast Ensemble) Wonderful Town (Reprise!), Up the Week Without a
Paddle (Neurotic Young Urbanites - Garland Award Winner), Merrily We Roll
Along (West Coast Ensemble), and The Beggar's Opera (Pasadena
Shakespeare Company). Television
appearances include Without A Trace, Summerland, The Bernie Mac Show, Will
and Grace, Becker, Presidio Med, and Mad TV. Writing credits include the plays Daisy's
Boy, the children's musical Cracker Jack Day, and many comedy
sketches with her three-woman group The Jersey Girls. Her favorite collaborations have been with
her husband, Jonathan Fahn, including the short film Tea With Grandma
(Best Actress and Writer Awards - New York Int'l Short Film Festival) in which
she starred along with Tippi Hedren, the short play 12 Items or Less,
and her short children, Harrison and Samuel.
YOU
MUTHA! is
