Songs, Storytelling, and Riffing Set for Unreliable Narrator's UN-SHOWCASE

Unreliable Narrator, the home of strange, homemade theater in the Boston area, presents UN-Showcase, Friday April 8 at 8 PM.

Performances are at Arlington Center for the Arts at 41 Foster Street in Arlington, MA, 02474. Tickets are $10, available at www.unreliable-narrator.com or by phone at 800-838-3006. More information can be found online at or by phone at 617-386-9595.

UN-Showcase is a grab bag of local DIY artists. See the work of excellent local storytellers, musicians, and other fine performers, capped off by Unreliable Narrator's first experiment with a great form of comedy: live, scripted riffing of bad short films.

This artistically robust evening is also a celebration of Unreliable Narrator's 2016 season and will feature scenes from the next UN show Ultimate Things, which comes to Boston Playwrights Theatre in July.

"UN-Showcase is an Unreliable Narrator tradition, but the live movie-riffing group is something we've never tried before." says producer Carl Danielson. "Watching crazy talented people doing their thing is a great way to spend a spring Friday night."

The night's featured performers are:

- Folk musician Audrey Ryan.
- Author Patrick Gabridge, reading from his novel Moving.
- Indie-rock musician The Pluto Tapes, playing songs from his new album The Dawnzer Lee Light.
- Storyteller Jenny Gutbezahl.
- Electronic musician JOSS.
- The short film-based comedy of the UN Movie Riffing Group: comedians Jenny Gutbezahl, Brian Rust, and Joye Thaller.
