Photo Flash: First Look - Uncanny Theatre Company's CROSSDRESSERS AND CRIMINALS

This June, audiences can join in on a twisted group therapy session and hear confessions of three characters on the fringe of society. Presented by Uncanny Theatre Company, Crossdressers and Criminals: 3 Ways to Lose Yourself, a dark and often funny collection of solo pieces, will be presented at the 23rd edition of the St-Ambroise Montreal Fringe Festival from June 13-23. Check out a first look at the cast below!

The intimate size of the Freestanding Room will create a welcoming atmosphere where the characters will reveal their tales of woe. The play is co-written by Jonathan Fournier (The Boy and the Wrapper, Miner Inconvenience) and Marie Markovic, with Markovic as director. It stars Liz Burns (Tableau D'Hote Theatre's Lion in the Streets, Featuring Loretta, Dark Owl), Tania Dos Santos (Brave New Productions' The Laramie Project: 10 Years Later) and the up-and-coming Lex Youssef.

Crossdressers and Criminals: 3 Ways to Lose Yourself is an intertwined collection of solo pieces featuring three original characters. Jamie Jones describes how he went from a mild-mannered member of society to a wig-wearing protector of the people. Red, the hardened biker girl, recounts how she had to give up her best friend and the effort she went to in order to fill the void. June, always drawn to the ocean, reveals the life or death decision she was forced to make while vacationing in Mexico. In their struggles against adversity and change, they all found themselves, but finding yourself isn't all it's cracked up to be...
