2 performers, 30 variety acts, 1 relationship, 7 possible endings. This award-winning interactive romance is back for one weekend only with even more stories to tell. Arson 101, A Choose Your Own Adventure (San Diego International Fringe Festival 2023 "Artists Pick" and "Spirit of the Fringe") is a two-performer dance and variety show that speaks directly to the audience throughout as the characters seek advice on how to handle the challenges of a new relationship. Starting from the wildfire of initial interest and moving through the dying embers of complacency into the audience-determined unknown, the actors will use every skill they've got (including but not limited to dancing, clowning, singing, acrobatics, and drag) to take that advice and run with it. With a catalogue of 30 possible acts to choose from and 7 different ways the show can end, it's a unique story every performance. For more information visit: arson101show.com
