ONE, TWO, WHATEVER YOU DO To Premiere at Fringe Festival, 8/14-28

Younger Child Productions presents the world premiere production of One, Two, Whatever you do..., a new play by Vanessa Shealy, as part of the fifteenth annual New York International Fringe Festival. The play will have six performances at Fringe venue #12.

In One, Two, Whatever you do... Former child star Angela L. Wilcox finds herself desperate for a job. But things spin out of control when she tells one teensy fib - and it goes viral! To save her name, the starlet highjacks a local children's theater production to beg the audience to tweet, or not to tweet. The play that results is a darkly comic tale about a public face and the cost of keeping it well made up.
