About the Project
WINNER: BEST ACTRESS 2017 PITTSBURGH FRINGE. There’s a time and place for a monocle: 2018 and a Bronx high school are neither of them! Mo-to-the-oncle is the solo comedy that follows the story of Detroit Price, Jr., a Bronx teenager who must wear a monocle to school after his father loses their vision insurance. Through a series of rapid costume changes, Cole portrays eight different characters to chronicle Detroit’s plight as a uniquely kind of bespectacled student. Written and performed by New York City based actress, improviser and comedy writer Melissa Cole (2015 NBC & Upright Citizens Brigade Diversity Showcase), Mo-to-the-oncle also features singing and rapping throughout the show. “…Fast-paced and idiosyncratic enough to resemble a shorter, more socially conscious Wes Anderson film.” –PITTSBURGH IN THE ROUND
