Strange
Girls at the Tampa International Fringe Festival
"The world hasn't changed but the days have become more unusual."
Meet
four strange girls, each stranger than the last. Bent and warped
by modern life. How do they survive in a world that doesn't
understand them?
The Strange Girls Project presents 4 disturbing
tales of obsession featuring women who, although a little warped,
are just longing to belong to something---no matter the cost.
This unique theatrical performance features the work of three
veteran performers, each a master of solo storytelling on stage.
Bridget Bean (Noelle) is no the format having performed in Shirley
Valentine, Talking Heads, and Underneath the Lintel
as well as performing her one woman show, Mrs. Bliss' Titanic
Adventure at the Orlando International Fringe Festival and
Tampa International Fringe Festival. Laila Lee,(Esmeray), a
natural storyteller, won "Most Courageous" at Shameless Stories
in Tampa. She also won the "Jenny Award for Telling it Like
it is" in 2019 International Winnipeg Fringe Festival for her
self-written one woman show, The Light Bringer (also
featured at this year's Tampa Fringe). Dawn Truax has acted
in a heck of a lot of shows all over the Tampa Bay area including
her one woman show Roarin'Judy, and the show that inspired
Strange Girls, Talking with…. And introducing
Madison LeVine (Gecko Girl), a student at Blake High school
for the Arts. Maddie now has the unique challenge of working
with a very, very unusual scene partner.
The Strange Girls writers also have some intriguing day
jobs including regular seasonal gigs performing as a most delightful,
theme park Mrs. Claus and a spooking psychic for Tampa's Vault
of Souls (Bean). Truax (as head of Stageworks Education) brings
the performing arts to kids in foster care and juvenile detention.
Strange Girls been described as "funny and creepy" and
packing a "real emotional gut punch."
