Dave Told Me To Do This Productions is proud to present the premiere of PRTNR at this year's Toronto Fringe Festival. Written and performed by Natalie Kulesza & David Rowan, PRTNR is an original sketch show that not so much seeks to answer the question "What is a Partnership?" but have a good time trying! Using sketch and physical comedy, PRTNR navigates the audience through some ideas of Partnership in all its glorious forms (not just romantic! C'mon guys!).
You'll meet Geri & Jerry, Cops Kulesh & RoRo and whole slew of different characters sharing some of their lives with you. Also there's a strong possibility of a chair dance, an 80's throwback and some skits that are way too long that you may not understand. (But you're in our world now, so whatever goes, GOES...) This is the first collaboration between Kulesza and Rowan, and certainly won't be the last... if they can get through tech week successfully!
Nat and Dave met 2 years ago at the Theatre Centre Cafe where Nat was a barista wondering "What was is next?" and Dave was a customer coming in to spend time writing his screenplay wondering the exact same thing. A friendship was struck and the rest is history folks! A mutual appreciation for dramatically singing 80's hits and trying to figure out their love lives brought these 2 cats together and bonds them still to this day.
Sam Roulston (comedian extraordinaire and improv teacher at the ol' Second City) came on board as Director to share his deep passion for telling excellent stories with a sense of humour with Nat and Dave. Virginia Woodall is bringing her producing expertise to the mix and Andrea Casteneda's mad stage managing skillz is what is going to help this show actually be completed on time!
PRTNR will no doubt surprise you, make you think, and most importantly LAUGH! The whole team exudes passion and knows that the audience will walk away really feeling they got their $13 worth!
