With a mind-expanding set, LEO, (winner of the 2012 Carol Tambor Best of Edinburgh Award at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe) cleverly juxtaposes projected film and live performance, while embarking on an adventure that is triumphantly funny, witty, and full of surprises.

Meet Caitlin Bryant, Marketing Intern at The Cultch
|
Q: Tell us a bit about yourself.
A: My name is Caitlin Bryant and I'm the Marketing Intern at The Cultch.
Q: What's your favorite show you've seen at The Cultch?
A: Well, I'm not sure how this happened, but somehow between the ages of 13 and 29 I've developed a total obsession with zombies. It's the idea of basic survival skills and the suspense of something lurking around the corner. So, all that being said, I'm going to have to go with Cozy Catastrophe. I thought it had the perfect mix of absurdity and suspense required for any zombie theatre happening.
Q: What's your favorite thing about East Van?
A: Everything. I have a 6-year-old daughter, Claire-Bear, and East Van is an awesome place to live, work, and raise a child with a flare for the dramatic!
