Miss B&#x27;s Very Silly Playland Zirkus! May 19-20 | 7:30pm | $15-30Miss B’s Very Silly Playland Zirkus! is a ‘tip of the hat’ to the childhood imagination. Miss B pushes back against societal norms and reminds us that if we rekindle that sense of joy, play and naughtiness we had early on in our lives, we can regain a truer version of ourselves as more playful and imaginative adults. Why not bring out a little bit of silliness within our all too serious selves? Lose those inhibitions and have a ball with an immersive pre-show playland experience followed by a magical storytelling variety show with puppets because puppets are awesome!This performance is devised by Leslie Collins, in collaboration with an improvising troupe of actors, musicians, and visual artist Taylor Cleveland. Miss B’s Very Silly Playland Zirkus! is graciously performed as part a new works residency at Arts Mission Oak Cliff.Cast:Leslie Marie CollinsColten WinburnLaurie CollinsEllen FultzDoug BartonJeremy DuchinShenelle PeartRashaad Jamari LeggettGena Loe Debbie McIlhanyHollis BeckOriginal Music &amp; Lyrics: Leslie Collins &amp; Colten WinburnMusic Director: Colten WinburnProjection Visuals: Taylor ClevelandCostumes: Breianna BairringtonSound: Nate JonesOriginal Incidental Music: Frank SpitznagelEditor/Advisor: Tom BartosABOUT THE MAKERSLeslie Marie Collins is a professional actress who has extensive training in theater and improvisation. Leslie has spent most of her career performing in plays and musicals, on TV and in commercials playing mostly “mom” and “disapproving wife” roles. She needed a little bit more of an outlet to fully let her imagination run wild so her life path steered her towards comedy, improv and musical improv. From there, her career opened up and she’s traveled all over the world performing and teaching comedy. Leslie moved back to Texas after 20 years away to be closer to her family and has been fortunate enough to continue performing in plays, musicals and musical improv shows all around the DFW area. Leslie produces a weekly podcast with her sister all about sumo wrestling called Sumo Kaboom because she loves sumo.WEB LINKS &amp; SOCIAL MEDIAFor an inside look at the process behind “Miss B&#x27;s Very Silly Playland Zirkus! ” and updates on Leslie&#x27;s latest work, check out her platforms!L﻿eslie Collins <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lesntexas/?hl=en" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/lesntexas?lang=en" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Twitter</a> | <a href="https://www.lesliemariecollins.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Website</a> Miss Nighty B <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nightnightmissb/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/NightNightMissB" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Twitter</a>P﻿hoto Credit: Sherry Etzel (top) &amp; Christopher Sonny Martinez (below)
