Ellielda

Created and Performed by Katie Farmin and Rhiannon Frazier

Designed by Genevieve Noel, Grey Blanco and Katherine Keller

Two lives. One act.

EllieIda follows the lives of two fictional comedy icons forced together on the vaudeville circuit. They discover that only one thing will get you through life: the hilarity of it all. Alcohol, assholes, and a couple of pies later they reflect on their friendship, their successes, and what it means to be funny. Eight characters, two actresses and a whole lotta shots.

“Rhiannon Frazier and Katie Farmin are so close to a classical vaudeville duo at times, the electrical charge so nearly attuned, that EllieIda should be required viewing for every self respecting Marxist (Groucho, not Karl) in the greater Chicago area”- Chicago Reader 2016
