If you could present your show to just one person, who would it be and why?
Teller of Penn and Teller, because he's never gotten to see an Andrea Merlyn show live. He's a mentor and a friend. Plus, he's written a hit off-Broadway play that started as a Fringe show. "Play Dead" by Todd Robbins and Teller.
List 3 words that truly sum up your show.
Glamorous, magic and fun
What is the best way for theater-goers to stay informed about your latest productions?
My website at indymagicmonthly.com or checking out the latest news on my sponsor's website daddyreal.com.
How does fringe theater benefit you as a theater artist?
I would never have started Indy Magic Monthly without it. Having become the face of the Fringe in the first 3 years, it's made me a minor celebrety and I don't have to do my shows in bars where folks never shut up and don't really give a shit about what I'm doing. Only Phil The Void and I have been in every Indy Fringe Festival with a show.
What is the funniest line in your play?
I will not answer that as it will spoil the surprise. You never ask a magician their secrets.
Where do you see yourself in a year’s time?
Agonizing over another Fringe show, or in a hospital fixing my herniated disk. I'm playing hurt this year.
Why IndyFringe?
Because after my experience with Orlando Fringe and losing nearly $4,000 over 2 years, I can make money here. There's 2 words to "show business" and only one is "show."
