ONEymoon Plays New York FRIGID Fest

With ambiguous feelings about the institution of marriage and unwilling to commit to anything less than perfection, Caroline opts to re-invent a long standing social convention. The audience joins Caroline as her family and friends on her unusual wedding day and follow along on her beach vacation -- her honeymoon for one. Filled with zany wit, improv, dance and song, Caroline pokes holes in our notions of "wedded bliss" - but ultimately finds that even a long-term relationship with herself has its pitfalls. It has humor, heart and tap-dancing too!

During the summer of 2010, this show toured Fringe Festivals in London, Toronto and Minnesota. By August, the show had truly hit is stride at the Victoria Fringe Festival, where it played to sold out houses and rave reviews, AND earned an annual Critics Choice award nomination from Monday Magazine.

"This production - a celebration of independence and girl power - is an energetic, manic and hilarious tale full of obligatory audience participation...original music, rapping, inebriated cabana boy seduction and tap dancing. A masterful improviser, Bartelse is a bouncing ball of energy who clearly enjoys the spotlight. This one-derful and entertaining production is definitely worth checking out. " Thandi Fletcher, 5 STARS, Victoria Times Colonist

A theatrical Jackie-of-all-trades, singer, dancer, actor, producer, writer, clown, teacher and comedienne Christel Bartelse recently wowed Fringe audiences with her one-woman show CHAOTICA, which toured Ottawa, Wakefield, and Saskatoon. In London, it won the Best-in-Venue Impressario Award and scored a nomination for the Brickenden Award for Outstanding Touring Production. This show also commanded sold out performances at North America's largest and most competitive Fringe in Edmonton, and has played Toronto twice - at the Festival of Clowns and The Theatre Centre. In 2010 it was one of only 5 shows nominated in the solo performance category for the Canadian Comedy Award.

Like CHAOTICA, ONEymoon brings to life human-kind's hilarious anxieties and imperfections in a mad-cap, high energy melange of comic brilliance.
