8/24/07
Messenger-Inquirer
Members of Merely Players will be performing at the Indianapolis Fringe
Theatre Festival this week and next. The group will present "Open 24 Hours,"
a collection of short plays, at the American Cabaret Theatre, 401 E.
Michigan St., Indianapolis.
"Open 24 Hours" stars Kevin Roach, Randi Shamsabadi, Rachel Simmons and Alan
Velotta.
They will present "Say No More" by Michael Kimball, "Scrambled" by Brett
Hursey, "A Gay Thing" by Joshua James, "Something Went Wrong" and "The
Plunge" by Matt Casarino.
"Fringe theater is really edgy and contemporary material," Velotta said.
"It's in line with our mission and the types of plays we typically produce."
The short plays were selected for "Open 24 Hours" from nearly 300 of
submissions.
This is the first year Merely Players are performing at IndyFringe. A group
went up to IndyFringe last year, where they attended several performances.
"One thing that was really cool was we were able to see a few shows we put
on last year," Velotta said. " ... We got to go to Indy and see other
theater interpretations of the same plays."
IndyFringe will feature 10 days of plays with 53 performers, 216 shows and
six stages, the festival's Web site reports.
