| Description |
 CARLOTTA & CO. LEAP INTO FALL WITH A SPOOKY FULL-LENGTH MUSICAL
Carlotta's Late Night Wing Ding is a popular theatre variety show
which has been entertaining audiences in little venues around Seattle
for over 10 years. Manned by a bunch of lovable misfits, (actually
veterans of improv-based ensemble comedy), the ordinary Wing Ding
features a line up of special guests, songs and relentlessly wacky
shenanigans.
But this is not quite your ordinary Wing Ding Episode!
It seems Carlotta (Troy Mink), son Slaw (David Nixon), and pals Nellie
(Orla Mc Govern), Terry (Tom Ledcke), Trinity (Jill Farris) & Mrs.
Celito (Marc Carvajal) have each been summoned to the mysterious Wolf
Manor by its sole occupant (Karen Jo Fairbrook) for a creepy evening
of chasing down clues. Little do they know that this one evening of
innocent fun will unfold into a saga more horrific than a dirty toilet
seat at your grandmother's house...and most frightening of all, it's a
musical!
Could Carlotta be maimed by a foreigner? Will Nellie survive to see a
happy hour at The Turf again? Can Trinity control her secret passions?
Might Mrs. Celito's odor be due to her diet? Will Terry ever visit
the Pacific Rim? Who will protect Slaw from any future anal probes if
his onstage family is slaughtered?
Prepare yourself for a partially improvised Hairy Horror replete with
musical numbers that will have you singing well beyond your grave. We
apologize in advance if you inadvertently split your sides. After
all, laughter is a very understandable reaction to PURE TERROR!
Mwah-ha- ha!

Past praise for the Wing Ding:
"Carlotta's Wing Ding is the most beautifully strange and hilarious
art happening in Seattle history, where the line between fact and
fiction is not just blurred, it's obliterated entirely.
There's a place where improvisation is more than a game and characters add up to more than caricatures, and Carlotta's is its name." --Mike Daisey
"These characters have grown so detailed over the past several years,
and the cast has cultivated such comfortable comic synergy, that the
Wing-Ding bursts with both the mundane and the surreal. It's like
being licked and mauled by the mutant love child of Johnny Carson and
Hee Haw." --Bret Fetzer
"Mink's lived-in performance as the gossipy, unflappable Southern
matron is so ingenuous, you can sometimes feel it's wrong to laugh she
doesn't think she's funny, so why should you? The incarnation is one
of Seattle's most extended, expansive feats of acting." --Steve
Wiecking
P.S. The Theatre Off Jackson has a full bar. Could you ask
