Former millionnaire and convicted tax evader TR Hamer has his world recollapse while attempting to do an IRS-mandated community service show. En route to rock bottom number two, and despite the efforts of Senior IRS agent Martin Almond, TR proceeds to rewrite the show, sad-eat a pile of marshmallows, crawl into a bag, and fall in love a bunch of times while threatening suicide. From within the madness, TR begins to suspect that his “tormentor” Martin Almond might be the only thing propping him up.

Opening in 5 weeks on Friday, June 7 at 8pm at Fringe Main Stage at The Open Fist Theatre, the 6 performances continue through June 29 on Thursday, June 13 @ 8pm, Friday, June 21 @ 9pm, Saturday, June 22 @ 5pm, Friday June 28 @ 11pm and Saturday, June 29 @ 10pm. Tickets are $12 for General Admission, $10 for fringe participants, and are available for purchase on the Hollywood Fringe website, at fourclowns.org or by calling The Open Fist Theatre is located at 6209 Santa Monica Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90038.

Following the fringe run of Me Rich You Learn, the show will travel to the Telluride Playwright’s Festival in Colorado in July. Me Rich You Learn was written by writing partners Adam Carpenter and Zach Steel and is being directed by Turner Munch, the cast includes Carpenter and Steel, and is produced by Four Clowns with Artistic Director Jeremy Aluma.
