She has written a compelling show filled with humor and pathos. She performed AFTER ANNE FRANK in the New York Fringe Festival and she has gone on to do several New York theatre runs. Carol is bringing the show to The Groundling Theatre. I am happy to be able to bring this brilliant writer/actor to the west coast, and especially to my Groundling home."-Gary AustinLink to the full interview below http://killingthebuddha.com/ktblog/anne-frank-at-the-fringe/CAROL: "Gary’s work is very physical. Over the years he’s taught me to find a character’s body through asymmetrical movement. And to make arbitrary physical choices as a way to discover authentic human behavior. I play a slew of different characters in After Anne Frank: my Uncle, Matilda - an 83 year old french woman who was in my Bat Mitzvah class, Fran - a dentist, a southern tourist in the Anne Frank House; and myself at ages 6, 12, 23, 28, 31 and today. Gary’s work helped me find a “body” for each of them. "www.carollempert.com For more information, call 818-503-3571 or email [email protected]’s Blog ("DOG BOOT") link: austinhere.wordpress.com
