Los Angeles, CA (May 14th, 2013): Fancy! A Southern Gothic Camp Parable is back after its sold out premiere last summer to be a part of the Hollywood Fringe Theatre Festival exclusively at the Celebration Theatre. The one-woman show, written and performed by actress Chris Farah, opens June 18th at 10pm.

“My mother use to sing and play “Fancy” to me on the guitar and it wasn’t until later when I understood the scandalous nature of the song, that my obsession began,” said Farah.

Fancy! A Southern Gothic Camp Parable is the timeless story of a poor country girl turned infamous prostitute on a quest to find her own identity while overcoming the discrimination of religious ring-wing conservatives. Along the way she befriends sassy landlady Ruby, stars in her own Parisian show and exposes the hypocritical, self-righteous, and intolerant folk all while realizing that people should love and respect one another as we do ourselves.

About Chris Farah: Farah is an actress, improviser, writer and a regular performer at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade LA and NYC. She’s starred in Perezprov, There’s No Crying in Improv, Girls Gone Blue, The Quick & Funny Musicals, Sketch Cram, The Dirtiest Sketch Show in LA and her own musicals Lil’ Tw*t of Horrors and Oh Well! Oh Well! among others. She’s worked with Cornerstone Theatre Company for Making Paradise: The West Hollywood Musical and Celebration Theatre in their musical improv show GLAADLIBS.
