More About The Golden Smile
The show will also be performing in the Planet Connections Theatre Festivity in June (NYC) and the Edmonton International Fringe Festival in August (Edmonton, AB, Canada).
The Golden Smile is an absurdist musical comedy musing the creative process of theatre. Joey Stamp and Zach Stamp (“The Stamp Brothers”) have developed the musical comedy to depict mental health in the 1950s. Set accordingly to health standards at that time, many occurrences in this show could not (thankfully) happen today. The aim is for audiences to question the stigmas, standards, and continuum of mental health.
Preview snapshots of the Fringe Festival will take place on June 24th at 7:30 PM at the Trinidad Stage at the Logan Fringe Arts Space – 1358 Florida Avenue, NE, in Washington, DC.
