We're diving deep into the world of puppetry and horror with our lchat with Jessica Jade Jacob about Jawsica, the one-woman puppet show that's making waves at the Pittsburgh Fringe Festival! We're super stoked to introduce you to Jessica, the mastermind behind this quirky twist on the classic film *Jaws*, where she brings the iconic shark and all its characters to life using puppets. You'll hear how Jessica's passion for horror flicks and her background in special effects makeup collide in this unique performance set for March 26th at the Attack Theater Studios. We’ll also dish on the challenges of condensing a beloved story into a 30-minute show, the joys of puppetry, and the thrill of performing live. So grab your tickets, settle in, and let’s get ready to swim into the depths of creativity and laughter!

We're diving into the vibrant world of the Pittsburgh Fringe Festival, which is about to kick off for its 13th year from March 19th to 28th! I’m Chris Lindstrom, and today I’m chatting with the fabulous Alexandra Marar, who's bringing her storytelling show, "Guardian Stranger," to life at the Attack Theater Studios. She’s got some wild tales about how ignoring the whole "don't talk to strangers" advice actually led to some life-saving adventures while exploring the globe. Picture this: a small-town girl from Ohio, navigating through cultural landscapes and meeting some of the most colorful characters along the way. We’ll explore how being open to experiences and connecting with the locals can turn an ordinary trip into an unforgettable journey. So, grab your tickets, because this festival is a treasure trove of creativity and connection!
