'China the Whole Enchilada' Part of Fringe Festival

As the opening night of the 2008 Beijing Olympics approaches, a night considered to be the global celebration of unity and sportsmanship, the world keeps a close eye on it host - China. Since it won the bid to host this event, China has been under scrutiny from the media and global human rights organizations alike.  On that very same night, on the other side of the globe, Big Boy Strut Entertainment and The NY International Fringe Festival will kick off the global celebration of unity, theatre and the invention of air conditioning with the new musical by Mark Brown called, CHINA- THE WHOLE ENCHILADA directed by Jim Helsinger, with arrangements and additional music by the Paul Mirkovich.  CHINA THE WHOLE ENCHILADA will be performed at the Michael Schimmel Center for the Performing Arts at Pace University.

A hilarious new musical, CHINA- THE WHOLE ENCHILADA is three men singing, dancing, and irreverently marching their way through four thousand years of Chinese history- in less than two hours with an intermission. Enchilada dares to tackle racism, human rights, genocide, and the birth of the fortune cookie.
 
Workshopped at Orlando Shakespeare,  CHINA-THE WHOLE ENCHILADA is a tricky, but fascinating balancing act, walking the fine line between sheer, ridiculous insanity and some serious truths. In this slapstick musical about the history of China, Mark Brown has collaborated with Paul Mirkovich to create two of the funniest hours of theatre sure to keep you laughing all the way to the The Great Wall Of China and back.

CHINA-THE WHOLE ENCHILADA begins performances August 8 through 24, 2008

Michael Schimmel Center for the Performing Arts Pace University is located at 3 Spruce Street.
