Outstanding!
Three recent graduates of UVic's Phoenix Theatre: Jack Storwick, Samantha Frew, and Chiara Power ('The Importance of Being Earnest', 'The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee', and 'Twelfth Night') are looking to entertain you at this year's Victoria Fringe Festival with 'Outstanding!'- a brand new comedic showcase that features everything you've ever wanted to see onstage. Amaze at the performers, who, in the past, the Times Colonist said, "delivered standout performances", "have oodles of talent", and are "also notable". Watch dreams come into conflict with reality as this show-stopping trio attempts to get through their onstage bucket list before the big leagues. Intrepid's Metro Studio has surely never seen an act so breathtakingly desperate for your attention.
Latecomers up to 15 minutes after the show begins.

About the Artist
The Outstanding! trio consists of three recent graduates of UVic's Phoenix Theatre- Chiara Power, Samantha Frew, and Jack Storwick. They are honoured to be living, learning, listening, and gathering inspiration on unceded Lək̓ ʷəŋən territory. This show was developed in Victoria, BC, with the help of a shared Google document, caffeine, and a dream. As such, the trio also gives thanks to their producer, Ballenworks- a local theatre company based on Lək̓ ʷəŋən territory. Its mission is to focus on the creation of new works, with an emphasis on highlighting and presenting emerging voices in our community.
