United Solo Festival Presents New One Woman Comedy ONEYMOON by Christel Bartelse, 11/5
United Solo Festival presents Christel Bartelse's one woman show ONEymoon, a honeymoon for one.
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.
The Show
ONEymoon has played to over 10 Fringe Festivals including London, ON, Toronto, Minneapolis, Victoria, Winnepeg, Calgary, Edmonton, Orlando, Indianapolis, as well as having played Frigid Festival NY, and was invited to play at DivaFest in Indianapolis 2011. In 2011 it was nominated for a Canadian Comedy Award in the Category, "Best One Person Show".
