Vanessa Smythe's IN CASE WE DISAPPEAR to Make U.S. Debut at United Solo, 11/15

On Saturday November 15, 2014 at 7:30pm, for one night only, Canadian rising star Vanessa Smythe offers her original "must-see" sold-out show (NOW Magazine) IN CASE WE DISAPPEAR to Theatre ROW, 410 West 42nd Street, New York, as part of the United Solo Theatre Festival.

With a "genuine gift for poetic narrative", Smythe's freshly imaginative show blends spoken-word poetry, rhythm and a capella melodies to tell a series of true stories, all inspired by the people and moments that disappear from our lives. The show emerged out of a ritual between her and her little brother - "I used to tell my brother all my embarrassing and kooky stories, in case we'd disappeared by morning" - and has evolved into a mesmerizing and fully-experiential love letter to those who vanish. With pieces ranging from accidentally booty-calling her ex, to struggling to hug her sibling at his graduation, Smythe's hilarious and bittersweet stories occur like a one-woman Flight of the Conchords. Playful, poignant, and beautifully unique.

IN CASE WE DISAPPEAR originated at an emerging artist cabaret at Toronto's legendary Theatre Passe Muraille. The full show was then invited to be part of the inaugural Crow's Theatre East End Performance Crawl, produced by Siminovitch Prize-winner Chris Abraham, where it played to sold-out houses to critical and popular acclaim.
