THEY CALL ME MISTER FRY

JACK FREIBERGER'S
SOLO THEATRE PIECE,
IS BACK WITH A NEW TAKE ON NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND


June 2008.......Writer-performer, Jack Freiberger, is back on the Los Angeles
theatre circuit presenting a rendition of his original work, They Call Me Mister Fry,
playing at both the Whitefire Theatre in Woodland Hills and the fanaticSalon
Theater in Culver City.

What happens when a white boy from Indiana starts teaching at Southern
California's most elite school and ends up teaching 5th graders in South Central
Los Angeles. You'll find out in this funny yet poignant solo show that follows the
true story of Jack Freiberger's first year in a South Central classroom. Complex
situations develop; characters come alive, including alter-ego King Arthur; as we
witness the teacher become the student.

Freiberger originally developed his show in Mark Travis's solo show workshop in
2001. Despite his first run's critical acclaim, Freiberger decided to return to full
time teaching for six years. In 2007, he started to piece the show back together.
The heart and facts of the show remain, but he wanted to update it by weaving in
his experience with No Child Left Behind, enhancing the drama by adding video
sequences that he shot and edited. It has paid off as Freiberger has been
chosen to perform Mister Fry at this year's New York International Fringe
Festival taking place in August.

An actor and fully credentialed teacher who resides in Santa Monica, Jack
Freiberger's film credits include The Salmon Run, The Story Lady and Enemies
Within. Among his recent stage performances are Two Gentlemen From Verona,
Arsenic and Old Lace and Three Penny Opera. He has acted in and done voice
work for over 30 educational films produced through Media, Inc. Trained in the
Meisner technique, Freiberger also studied with The Shakespeare Company and
Adam Roake's Film Acting Lab. He is also a freelance entertainment journalist who
writes for several magazines.
