Cast Set for Premiere of Catholic Lesbian Comedy AS I AM FULLY KNOWN at FringeNYC

Ross DeGraw (Gorilla Rep's Joan of Arc and Julius Caesar, TV Land's "Make My Day"), Gretchen Ferris, Rebecca Nerz, Emily Rieder and Jesse Presler are set to star in Catholic lesbian comedy AS I AM FULLY KNOWN, premiering in the 2010 New York International Fringe Festival at La MaMa First Floor Theatre with performances from August 14th - August 29th. Written by star Emily Rieder, AS I AM FULLY KNOWN will feature direction from Andrew Oswald, with the creative team for AS I AM FULLY KNOWN also featuring John Wolf (lighting design) and Alexandra Pinkus (marketing).

In AS I AM FULLY KNOWN, meet Gina (played by playwright Rieder)--a 25 year old catholic lesbian living in Brooklyn who is coming to terms with her sexuality. Now meet her religious family--who all struggle to accept Gina as she chooses which rules to, and not to, live by. Funny and poignant, AS I AM FULLY KNOWN examines whether one person's decisions can, among other things, bring down the wrath of God on an entire family as Gina's relationships with her family members are put to the test as she begins to move forward in her own life.

AS I AM FULLY KNOWN will run at the La MaMa First Floor Theatre (74 East 4th Street between 2nd and Bowery), with performances on Saturday, 8/14 at 5:15pm, Monday, 8/16 at 5pm, Thursday 8/19 at 9pm, Friday, 8/27 at 8pm, and Sunday, 8/29 at 2:30pm. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased online at www.FringeNYC.org or by phone at 866.468.7619 beginning July 23rd.
