CALL ME MISTER FRY Plays Crown City Theatre Through March 1

By:

What happens when a white boy from Indiana ends up teaching fifth graders in South Central Los Angeles? The critics say... "A Touching Story," "Gritty but hopeful," "Endearing and charismatic," "Uniformly Excellent!" , "A talented blend of comedy and emotion."

This is a MUST SEE one-man show written by and starring Jack Fry (Freiberger) which has been getting standing ovations before packed houses in New York and Los Angeles.

This funny yet poignant TRUE STORY will have you laughing and crying for a teacher having to deal with students, the system, an alter ego King Arthur and finally with his own fragile existence.

Join Crown City Theatre Company as they bring you this remarkable show that will renew our commitment to teachers, teaching and the future of our youth.

THEY CALL ME MISTER FRY is the true life story of a first-year teacher, "Mr.Fry", in South Central Los Angeles, teaching a 5th grade class. The play powerfully represents the relationship between Mr. Fry and two challenging students. Packed with humor and drama, it's a coming of age story not only for the students, but for the teacher as well.

February 6th through March 1st, 2009 (Fri & Sat -8PM, Sun-2PM)
