Solo Performance – Comedy/drama 50 minutes
A crinoline sporting Rosemary Clooney addict blindly ignores the line between "vintage and irony while trying to save her favorite oldies radio station from going under. As Louisa struggles with a world bent on ushering her into a daily routine that can’t help but bring on a quarter life crisis, Radio Collar explores family dynamics and how personal histories become distorted with the passage of time. Includes dance sequences Doris Day would be pleased with, sound collages that meld urban soundscapes with 1950’s shuffle beats and traditional storytelling.
Premiered 2005 at the Ottawa Fringe Festival, and continued to Festivals in Thunder Bay, Saskatoon and Edmonton.
