My audience absolutely loved the show, and it was well-attended by a wide age range. Greg, Hilary, and Neil have got to be some of the MOST talented and LEAST pretentious artists I have ever worked with. It was a delightful day, and I would say this is all-around one of the best groups I have presented in over 17 years of doing this." - Wisconsin Lutheran College Fine Arts Programming “Thank you so much for the awesome performance! I spoke to one of our patrons yesterday. He’s attended almost every Live! For $5 performance since it was established in 2005, and he said it was one of the best he’s seen!” - Opera House Arts, Stonington, Maine “I just want to thank you once again for the brilliant show we saw last eve. Everyone in our group loved it, and for me personally, it was the most delightful show I have seen in a long, long time.” - Gigi Lambrecht, On Our Own “ Serious music by seriously talented musicians in a show that doesn’t take itself seriously at all.” — CBC, MANITOBA :: WINNIPEG FRINGE 2016 “The trio is funny and engaging while remaining masterful in both movement and musicianship.” — STACY SIMS, CITYBEAT :: CINCINNATI FRINGE 2016 “Fruit Flies Like a Banana” is musical, mesmerizing and pure Fringe magic.” — MATTHEW J. PALM, ORLANDO SENTINEL :: ORLANDO FRINGE 2016 “My 11-year-old leaned over and said, ‘These people are really talented.’ She totally refused to see this show, but I dragged her. Afterwards, she couldn’t stop talking about it.” — DESDAMONA RACHELI, AUDIENCE REVIEW :: MINNESOTA FRINGE 2015 “Their musicianship would be impressive if they just stood still and stared at their music stands and their acrobatics would impress if they never saw an instrument, but together they make stage magic.” — CARL F. GAUZE, ARCHIKULTURE DIGEST :: ORLANDO FRINGE 2015 “Fruit Flies Like a Banana is a musical happy place. It’s full of joy and love and passion that never, ever takes itself seriously. If you think you don’t like classical music, go. If you think you do like classical music, seriously go. This is simply, Fringe at its best. Don’t miss it.” — ALLISON CARTER, INDYFRINGE TALK :: INDYFRINGE 2014 “Bottom line: If you don’t smile during this show, you have no soul.” — JUSTIN BRADY, MISSION INTRIGUE INDY :: INDYFRINGE 2013 >> Basic Set-Up Needs STAGE: 30 feet wide x 20 feet deep with at least 12 feet overhead, though larger and/or taller is fine. Minimum stage space is 20 feet wide x 16 feet deep with 10 feet overhead, allowing for a full-length show with some repertoire adjustments to accommodate reduced stage size. Stage surface must be smooth, flat, and free of protruding objects, obstructive cracks, holes, splinters, etc. Portable platform stages are acceptable, provided assembly is level and sturdy. Marley flooring is not required, but the stage must be appropriate for dance and for objects on wheels, such as a vibraphone and hoverboards. Direct access into the house from the stage is requested, enabling performers to go back and forth from the stage to the house with ease during the show. LIGHTING: General illumination Optional lighting elements which can greatly enhance the performance include: Warm and Cool Washes 3-Color Cyc Multicolored lights with manual bump or chase effect Dimmable House Lights Center Special [See attached plan for sample lighting guidelines.] SOUND: Ability to play recorded music pre- and post-show from tech booth. Wireless headset microphones or overhead chorus miking that covers the stage as deemed necessary by the venue. Amplification is generally unnecessary in theaters under 300 seats. If the venue always uses microphones for speaking from the stage, The Fourth Wall will require either 3 headset microphones with wireless transmitters and receivers (one per performer) or overhead chorus miking of the stage. During the show, all music is performed live on acoustic instruments (flute, bass trombone, percussion, and accordion). BACKLINE: We usually travel with our own equipment, but if backline is required, performances may use the following: Vibraphone (3 octaves F-F with graduated bars similar to Musser M55 or Yamaha YV-3710) Small drum set (kick with pedal; snare with stand; 1 rack tom with stand; hi-hats with stand, cymbals, and clutch; crash cymbal with stand; drum throne) Euphonium All other instruments (flutes, bass trombone, accordion, boomwhackers) will always be provided by The Fourth Wall. >> Sample Introduction Fruit Flies Like a Banana generally starts with a fade to black, then The Fourth Wall enters on hoverboards from the wings or some other hidden, off-stage space, so no introduction is necessary other than any land acknowledgement, donor thank yous, or other housekeeping that the venue likes to give before a show. That said, here are a few words you could use to introduce the show: “Not many musical groups get called out for their ‘deft choreography’ by The Wall Street Journal, but The Fourth Wall is far from your average music group. Get ready to be delighted, surprised, soothed, and wowed by their artistic antics. Please welcome, The Fourth Wall with Fruit Flies Like a Banana!” >> Pricing Information Pricing for each act varies depending on a number of factors including: location of the event; popularity of the date; routing for each act; type of event; single or multiple day performances; length of show, etc. To get a specific and accurate quote for your event please contact our office by completing the form below or calling (612) 361-6002.

The client will need to provide access to the rigging point, such as with a cat walk, ladder or lift. Laura provides all the rigging that attaches to the anchor point. De-rigging time must occur no more than 4 hours after the performance. Other arrangements can be made if this is not possible. Laura and her team will handle all rigging and derigging activities, and/or work in partnership with on-site riggers when necessary. Wire act: This act requires ground anchors be placed into secure flooring, or the apparatus can be anchored to existing structures that can withhold forces of 3000 lbs. A pre-event consultation is required for this act. Rigging with Freestanding Tightwire Rig The freestanding wire rig comes in various height options. All wire set ups require a 25ft diameter working area. The largest freestanding wire can be up to 6.5 feet in height. Height range minimums vary from 10 feet - 15 feet (smallest wire can be done in 10 feet, largest wire requires 15 feet). Rigging with Freestanding Aerial Rig The freestanding aerial rig has a maximum height of 20 feet with approximately a 20 feet diameter footprint. A 25 foot ceiling is needed for the rig set up if working at full height. The rig can be set up for lesser heights, in 6 inch increments. Two stagehands will be needed to help set up and tear down the rig. The rig cannot be put up and torn down several times a day. The rig must be able to be torn down and reloaded no more than 4 hours after the performance. Other arrangements can be made if this is not possible. Site Walk-Through Depending on the complexity of the rigging, a site-visit may be done prior to the event date. Rigging will take place at a designated time, prior to the performance and determined by the venue and artist. Equipment being provided by the venue, such as a lift or ladder must be available at that time. The artist reserves the right to conduct a venue walk-through prior to rigging to ascertain that it is indeed safe. >> Sample Introduction >> Pricing Information Pricing for each act varies depending on a number of factors including: location of the event; popularity of the date; routing for each act; type of event; single or multiple day performances; length of show, etc. To get a specific and accurate quote for your event please contact our office by completing the form below or calling (612) 361-6002.
