Jack Freiberger, "Mister Fry," is ecstatic to have his show in New York City and at Comic Strip Live Theater. "Working with Bob and Richie has been a pleasure. I can't wait to bring the timely and fascinating story of "Mister Fry" to the tri-state area's audiences. My experience as a teacher in South Central LA made me write this play with humor, emotion and utter respect for all teachers. I'm so excited to share it."
"They Call Me Mister Fry" is currently directed by Jeff Michalski, Second City's ETC founding member and alumnus. "Mister Fry" was selected as one of the "Best of the Fest" by dctheatrescene.com and "Best Male Monologue" by allartsreview4u.com from the 2009 Washington Capital Fringe Festival.

He trained at Meisner, The Shakespeare Company, and Adam Roake's Film Acting Lab.
