In a fusion of mime, dance, and physical theatre, acclaimed performer Joylyn Secunda will transport Adelaide Fringe audiences through the looking glass in their latest solo show, The Routine.

The 15th Annual Fringe Encore Series at the Soho Playhouse presents Mil Grus, an LA based ensemble that has developed a unique form of physical satire. Their visual, visceral, and inimitable show is unique every time depending on who shows up and shares space with these five cosmic beings. Blending bouffon, sacred clowning, spectacle, and physical theater, Mil Grus acts as a mirror to society and forces us to laugh at our own fears and weaknesses.

Darren Lee Cole, producing artistic director of the not-for-profit, SoHo Playhouse and Associate producer Matthew Quinn are proud to announce the first round of selections for this year's Fringe Encore Series. The first set of productions hail from Adelaide, Auckland, Brighton, Hollywood, Edinburgh, Orlando, New Zealand & Vancouver and will feature some of the best productions from around the world.  This year's Fringe Encores Series will take place between November 27 a?" January 18, 2020. Individual tickets are $39 and can be purchased by visiting FringeEncoreSeries.com. 

Previous Fringe award winners team up for this year's Hollywood Fringe to create the First official Bouffon/Clown troupe "MIL GRUS"  led by world renowned physical theater artist Dean Evans of "Honeybuns" fame. Be prepared as, motley crew of miscreants who have crawled out of the gutter to make you question reality. This timeless satire features improvised feats of physical and existential comedy that defy explanation and provoke unfettered, eery glee. Come see what's behind the curtain, starting June 9, 2019 at The Mccadden Place Theatre.
