A Show to Consider as You Plan Your Fringe... Inherently Disordered

Inherently Disordered @ Yardbird Suite (Venue 7) 

Tickets

Who's in the Show: The show is written and performed by Aldrick Dugarte – seen onstage at Walterdale Theatre and going into his 3rd year in the BFA Acting program at the U of A.  The show is directed by Kalin Jensen – seen on and off stage at Walterdale Theatre. Aldrick gave a wonderfully nuanced and thoughtful performance in Amigo's Blue Guitar at Walterdale Theatre a couple of seasons ago. Kalin was one of the wonderful readers in my play, Modern Day Saints, presented as part of the 2023 From Cradle to Stage Festival. 

Why Should You See This Show? It's a funny show about big topics that are typically shown as tragedy (difficulties in coming out, crisis of faith, immigration frustrations), but it details both the queer and Catholic coming-out journeys with humour and introspection, interweaving political context while taking the piss out of terrible roommates, drunken adventures, the existential crisis of the playwright's nine-year old self, a first crush, gangs of Chicago, and more.  It provides space to laugh at some of the hardships and absurdities which comprise coming out. I would also add that Aldrick is a gifted actor and I am looking forward to seeing him again onstage!
