Pack Goes Fringe 2024
While The Pack takes time off our regularly scheduled programming for the Hollywood Fringe Festival, Many of our community members are producing and performing in Fringe shows. Take a look at some of the highlights and support some of these productions this summer.
Carter Talks About Kodiak Bears
“Ever since Carter was a young lad, he would find interest in the most random, sometimes useless topics. Now, he’s bringing one of those fascinations to the stage in “Carter Talks About Kodiak Bears.” Carter will talk about the history of this glorious animal, its diet, and so much more! The best part is, no one can tell him to shut up”
Featuring Carter Thomas

When you’re fat and funny, and a community theater child star, you spend a lifetime playing mothers and villains. Lucky for Lucy Porter, this had absolutely no impact on her psyche whatsoever! Lucy’s Fringe debut unites original songs, stand-up comedy, and stunning dresses in a bold solo cabaret that examines what it means to finally cast yourself as the ingénue.

“Dreams help us process our lives and the people we’ve met. When you’re a comedian, they’re also embarrassing and quite loud. Watch as writer/performer Kenny Gray gets some shut-eye and lets the characters of his subconscious take the stage! What follows is a cavalcade of high-energy comedy pieces and musical numbers woven together as a single dreamscape—a joyful 50 minutes filled with lovable idiots and one very sexual bottle of ketchup.”
Featuring: Kenny Gray
“You’ve all heard it; You know when you feel that gritty guitar and jazzy clarinet stirring your nethers, it’s time to solve a criminal case. That hypnotic, albeit eerie tune that portends the wonderment of a solid hour of corporate embezzlement, bitter divorces, kidnapped upper west side children, or, of course, murder. Such as the murder that has taken place today. Welcome to the beloved pillar of Dick Wolf’s sprawling franchise. You’re in for a treat. Because you see- In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police, who investigate crime; and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders. These are your stories.”
Featuring: KJ Middlebrooks
“A mother who struggles with breastfeeding must battle the zombie apocalypse to find formula for her newborn. Latch on and teat yourself to some udder fun. 🍼 If you’re a fan of Little Shop of Horrors, Pleasantville and The Walking Dead, this is not those shows, BUT it’s similar! We hope you’ll come, make some mammaries, and enjoy our musical comedy: Low on Milk.”
Featuring: Bryan Philip Cruz
Milk: A Very Dairy Sketch Show
“Milk is a sketch comedy show all about milk, set in a post-apocalyptic world where the beloved beverage in all of its forms has udderly ceased to exist. An eccentric grandfather tells nostalgic tales of the history of the long-forgotten dairy product, and by the end, you’ll be asking yourself: can I please have a glass of milk?”
Featuring: Fish Licks cast members Simon Gissler, StaggerLee Cole, Molly Sharpe, and Hudson Long
“Let’s make the World America Again! The best nation in the history of this country needs help uniting before it’s brought to the brink. Luckily our 3 self-designated ‘Super-Patriots’ are ready to explore what makes us truly American in this hour-long political satire show that’s like an unhinged Ted Talk but with violence, puppets, music, and improv. “
Featuring Keisha Zollar, Andrew Kimler, Megan Sass, Mark Philip Lichtenstein, Royce Shockley, Bonnie He & James Carroll
John Wick. John Wick Chapter 2. John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum. John Wick Chapter 4. What do these movies have in common? Woody Fu has seen them. Now he’s putting on a $15 Amazon wig and embodying the world’s favorite Canadian action star Keanu Reeves in “One-Man John Wick.” This half-hour sketch show has it all: elaborate fight choreography, a vaguely Eastern European villain, and a plot device called “undeveloped dead wife character.”
