The Southern Theater Opens TRICK BOXING, 6/1
The Southern Theater today announced the presentation of Trick Boxing by Sossy Mechanics, a fast-paced physical comedy full of rapid-fire dialogue, "Fred-and-Ginger style dancing" and puppetry. Trick Boxing premiered to great success at the 2002 Minnesota Fringe Festival, has since played to audiences around the U.S., Canada and the U.K., and will appear at The Southern Theater from June 1st - 8th.
Trick Boxing tells the story of Danny David, a down-on-his-luck apple seller who is deceived into becoming a boxer by a shady hustler and ends up swinging his way to the championship with the aid of a wily dance hall girl named Bella. Written, directed, choreographed and performed in multiple roles by the duo ofMegan McClellan and Brian Sostek, Trick Boxing was described as "stuffed with more tricks than a vaudevillian's trunk" by the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
McClellan and Sostek met while touring together with the Dance Company Joe Chvala and the Flying Foot Forum and began their creative collaboration after having established independent careers in theater, dance, film and television. Their work in dance and movement-based theater has launched them on a trajectory of national and international touring and acclaim.
