What is CLINK?

Last fall, Reba Terlson and I had a crazy idea: Let’s produce our own fringe show. We knew I would write, we knew she would act, we didn’t know much beyond that. I went through a couple show ideas I had in my back pocket and we decided to expand a short shot I wrote called Toasted Toasts”, which was performed at the 2013 V-day social.

It’s hard to believe that initial meeting was almost six months ago and we are less than two months away from Fringe. 

So what is CLINK? 

Clink is THE clink. Jail. Prison. The pokey.

Clink is the noise you make when you tap your knife against a wine glass to make a toast. 

Clink is The sound of speeches, of kissing, and fond little stories, marriage analogies and sentimental tripe.

Clink is the sound of doom. 

CLINK is the play we’ve put the last several months into developing, writing and putting together to perfect team to bring this play to life.

What's the story?

As the wedding day approaches, a wedding party finds themselves tangled in a web of secrets, alcohol and unspoken desire, all under the magnifying glass of the groom’s Mennonite family.


What's it really about?

Four adults coming into themselves, figuring out what they want, and how what they want doesn't necessarily coincide with what society expects of them at a certain age. 

Who does it involve:

Playwright: Hannah Foulger

Director: Kendra Jones

Cast:

Brian James Earle as Paul Reimer, the Groom

Kaeleigh Ayre as Rachel Case, the Bride

Reba Terlson as Abbey Randall, the Maid of Honour

Production team:

Stage manager/Reception DJ: Jordan Yankewiscz

Co-Producers/Overbearing family members: Reba Terlson and Hannah Foulger

Designer/Wedding Planner: Micaela Chrighton

You are invited to the wedding of the summer.

Remember, its a Mennonite wedding, so there will be no drinking and no dancing, but there will be awkward moments, full on meltdowns and (impossibly) drunken speeches. 

Like all your worst family weddings in one go.

But funny.
