Modern Folktale 'Roxy Font' Plays FringeNYC in Aug.

Crazytown Productions, S.D. Wagner and the New York International Fringe Festival will present Roxy Font, a modern folktale about a girl, a gun and a somewhat scandalous adventure, written by Liza Lentini (The Euthanasist, The Gentleman Caller).

The play will receive its world-premiere Friday, August 17 at the Cherry Lane Theatre (38 Commerce Street) as part of the 11th annual New York International Fringe Festival, August 10 - 26, 2007.

Directed by Ian Belton (The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant and Finer Noble Gases), Roxy Font "sets out to prove that no matter where you come from or where you've been, everyone deserves a shot! Roxy Font has found a way for the world to know her name, whether she wants it to or not. Sometimes you find fame…sometimes it finds you. While searching for Rascal - her one true love - Roxy Font sets off a domino effect of accidents, incidents and sycophants, which sends her down the path to become the world's most infamous, murdering, dancing, three-footed prostitute," state press notes.

The cast features: Pepper Binkley as "Roxy," Shalita Grant, Roger Lirtzman, Liz Thompson and Tim McGeever.

The New York International Fringe Festival is a production of the Present Company.
