A TASTE OF FRINGE | Girl Walks Into A Movie Theater - Sunday July 13th, 2.00pm

Girl Walks Into A Movie Theater
Written & performed by Mandy Pennington
Directed by Simone Daniel

The Gateway Cinema was a community mainstay: a dated, sticky underworld where countless Northeastern Pennsylvanians saw their first R-rated movie underage and felt safe enough to be their true selves in the dark. It was also where Mandy Pennington grew up, got a job, and faced what every teenager dreads: finding out exactly who they are. Girl Walks Into a Movie Theater is a love letter to a weird and wonderful place and time that will never be again. From first love to first loss, this solo play explores coming-of-age rites of passage in the best/worst first job anyone could ask for.

MANDY PENNINGTON (Actor/Playwright) is thrilled to be shamelessly exposing both her past and inner monologue. Mandy is a writer, marketer, teacher, and actor with a passion for storytelling and an MFA in creative writing from the Maslow Family Graduate Program in Creative Writing at Wilkes University. She is also a founding member of the New Vintage Ensemble. Selected credits include 1984 (Scranton Fringe), Mr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play (Scranton Fringe), Madam & Eve (Scranton Fringe), Hamlet (NVE), Our Town (NVE), Pride & Prejudice (NVE), Angels in America (LTWB), August: Osage County (LTWB), The Pallbearers (Gaslight Theater Co.), A Charlie Brown Christmas (Gaslight Theater Co.), James and the Giant Peach (Ovation Playhouse), Annie (Ovation Playhouse) and Pippin (Ovation Playhouse).
