GrimmNoir was an improv troupe.

Summary

Press Blurb

Their press blurb, taken from a 2012 application to perform at The Hideout Theatre:

With fairy tale shows such as "Wicked" and "Into the Woods" being Broadway and touring hits, and the Noir style being popular both as a movie and play genre, our concept highlights what makes both genres special.

It brings a gritty theme into what would normally be the fantasy world of the fairy tale. What would the story of Humpty Dumpty look like if it were not an accident but a murder? How about the domestic like of "Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater" who sequestered his wife in some isolated place because their relationship went sour? Or what was the real reason the Wolf kept destroying the Pigs' homes?

In our play you get more of the "why" behind certain character motives and that could create a fuller plot and experience for the audience.

"What's Your Deal?"

Their answer to the "What's Your Deal?" question on a 2012 application to perform at The Hideout Theatre:

We perform a genre narrative mixing Noir with the light fantasy of Fairy Tales.

History

The show premiered as a Free Fringe on 2/2/12.
