Producer Kevin Michael Reed Announces Plans to Bring ‘Kids Play’ and ’13 and Not Pregnant’ to Ed Fringe Festival 2017

The Two New Plays Focus on the Lives of ‘Misfits’ who are Trying to Create a World in Which they Can Express Themselves

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / March 31, 2017 / Kevin Michael Reed, a Producer who has worked on a number of film and theatrical projects, is pleased to announce his goals to bring ‘Kids Play’ and ’13 & Not Pregnant’ to Ed Fringe. The Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2017 gives artists a place to grow and new shows the opportunity to figuratively get their legs.

As a spokesperson for the two plays noted, the new theatrical works both feature strong ensembles and will evaluate the universal themes of youth, gender expectations, misogyny and the human experience in America. The plays, which have a strong influence on the female perspective, both focus on the lives of “misfits” who strive to live in a world where they can gain acceptance and be themselves.

“Set against a backdrop of small-town gossip amplified by social media, limitless shame, and the hell-fire of the confession booth, Kids Play is a darkly funny account of the pressures to be both normal and exceptional in a world hostile to misfit girls and queer kids, when nothing is quite so momentous as friendship, nor so utterly monstrous as ourselves,” the spokesperson said, adding that the play was written by Reese Thompson.

“13 & Not Pregnant introduces the aggressively hormonal writings of 90’s pre-teen Joy Donze, as she navigates her erratically evolving girlhood. The play is a comedic exploration of that pivotal time when we search within our tormented selves and dare to ask ‘who am I?'”

In order to help pay for the travel costs associated with bringing both casts to Edinburgh, as well as cover production, press and marketing and other related costs, Reed recently launched a fundraiser on Indiegogo. There, he hopes to raise $35,000 through crowdfunding and help bring Thompson’s and Donze’s poignant works to the Edinburgh stage.
