Fiasco Theater Presents: THE STAND IN by Crystal Finn (Workshop)

Friday, March 28th at 4pm

Saturday, March 29th at 12pm & 7pm

Best friends, Claire and Claudia, try to make it BIG in the movies. But is there room for two stars? Or will one of them always have to be just…. “The Stand In?” An absurdist romp through the madness of the artist’s journey and the toll it can take on what one holds dear.

Crystal is an actor and playwright. She is a proud alumni of the Brown/Trinity MFA acting program, where she studied alongside many of her Fiasco peers, including her classmate Emily Young. Crystal has originated roles in over twenty world premiere plays on and off Broadway. In 2022 she received the Theatre World Award for her Broadway debut in the play “Birthday Candles.” She is an affiliated artist with Clubbed Thumb where she has workshopped and performed in dozens of new plays and also been produced as a playwright. Her play “Ms. Lilly” was developed with Clubbed Thumb’s early career director’s program and was directed by Josiah Davis (also a Brown/Trinity alum!) and her play “Find Me Here” premiered in Clubbed Thumb’s Summerworks, last season and was directed by Caitlin Sullivan. Other plays include “The Faire” produced by Fault Line Theater, and “Becoming Liv Ullman,” which was a hit at the NY Fringe Festival and went on to the New Ground Theater Festival at Cleveland Playhouse. She is thrilled to be collaborating with Fiasco after so many years of shared lineage.

Featuring Noah Brody, Tina Chilip, Gibson Frazier, Kelly McAndrew, and Kristin Villanueva
