ABOUT The Secret of Jarlsberg
Comedy, 10 min, 1F, 1M
L to R: The playwright with Erin Merritt (director), Ryan Caldwell (Reynold) and Cassandra Smith (Jennifer) at the premiere.
The Secret of Jarlsberg premiered in May of 2011 in Los Angeles at The Still Speaking Theatre as part of "Chaos Theory - a Festival of Short Plays"
In the play, Reynold, frustrated by his situation and trying to prove something to his girlfriend, attempts to make the world's most perfect fondue... without counting the cost.
It's a pretty flat-out funny comedy, but at the performances I've seen the audience always goes "Awwww..." at the end. Heartwarming is the word, I guess.
This one is available for production from the playwright. Contact me.
