Aimee Mullins to Guest-Star in Naked in a Fishbowl 8/1

Actress, Model, Athlete Aimee Mullins joins the fully improvised live sitcom, Naked in a Fishbowl, at The Cherry Lane Theatre Monday, August 1st at 7:00pm. Each 1-hour fully improvised show features a new guest star each week through August 15th.

"Aimee's combination of incredible experiences and passion for the stage make her an ideal guest star for Naked in a Fishbowl," said Creative Producer Brenna Palughi. "She has expressed great interest and understanding of our process and it will be thrilling for us to get on stage with her. I can't wait to get 'Naked' with the beautiful and talented Aimee Mullins!"

Aimee's film debut was a starring role in the highly acclaimed film by contemporary artist Matthew Barney, Cremaster 3, first presented in the US at the Guggenheim Museum in 2003. Cremaster 3 was lauded by The Guardian as "the first truly great piece of cinema to be made in a fine art context since Dali and Bunuel filmed Un Chien Andalou in 1929. It is one of the most imaginative and brilliant achievements in the history of avant-garde cinema." Currently starring as Isis, she continues her work with Barney in Ancient Evenings, an adaptation of Norman Mailer's novel of the same name. They also performed "Khu," the second chapter, in October 2010 in Detroit. www.aimeemullins.com
