The inaugural All for One Theater Festival gets under way tonight at Theater 80 St. Marks in the East Village, kicking off ten days of solo performances and panel discussions. Among the shows are Over There — Comedy Is His Best Weapon, in which PJ Walsh gets funny about his stint in Afghanistan; unFRAMED, with Iyaba Ibo Mandingo telling the story of his illegal emigration from Antigua; Monster, with Avery Pearson playing sixteen characters in Daniel MacIvor’s chilling tale; the emotional Happiness, written by and starring Heather Harpham; and RASH, in which Jenni Wolfson delves into her time spent as a UN worker in Rwanda. There are also such free panels as “Why Solo Performance Matters,” “Directing the Solo Show,” “How to Best Enter and Utilize the Festival Circuit,” and “Producing and Contracting for Your Solo Show.”
