Joseph Ritsch to perform as his drag persona, Sunrize
Rep Phase, the qualified regional theater in residence at Howard Neighborhood University in Columbia, Maryland, will current a special engagement of Sunrize “With A Z” Off-Off…OFF Broadway, November 19–21, 2021, established and executed by Making Artistic Director Joseph W. Ritsch.
Sunrize “With A Z” Off-Off…OFF Broadway is a loving satire of contemporary musical theater divas. With her exclusive track stylings interspersed with whimsical reflections, sage tips, and insightful backstage tales, Sunrize shares her ups and downs in the “business we phone display.” The output, made by Joseph W. Ritsch as a benevolent tribute to the musical theater artists he adored as a boy or girl, is a innovative endeavor that brings together his function as both a drag artist and a musical theater performer.
“I hope that you will uncover that what has made Sunrize so endearing is her naivete, her huge heart, and her passion for entertaining. Her tale is at periods bumpy, humorous, susceptible, and celebratory, but normally focuses on discovering our legitimate selves, defining our very own own meanings of good results, and residing with a dedication to like and kindness,” claims Ritsch. “I am so enthusiastic to share this piece of my record with you at an evening that will go away you with a smile on your experience and warmth in your heart.”
Sunrize was a critically acclaimed staple of the New York Town nightlife and cabaret scene, headlining in these types of prestigious venues as The Duplex, Judy’s, and Fez, as properly as touring across the U.S. and internationally, with these types of reviews as “You’ll chortle so tough tears will roll down your cheeks” from New York Newsday.
Sunrize “With A Z” Off-Off…OFF Broadway is manufactured in partnership with Howard Neighborhood College’s Academic Basis. A percentage of all tickets revenue will go toward funding meal kits that are distributed by the school foods pantry to students who encounter food stuff insecurity. Selection bins will be at each individual overall performance for donations of canned and dry products, as well as personalized care solutions.
