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
