Smart Comedy Benefit for Orlando Public Schools May 18, 2012

The Smart Comedy Support Group will perform at the Orlando Fringe Festival. Mary Tischbein and Suzanne Willett will be finding the funny from subjects like Armageddon, Death, Games and Identity Theft.

Smart Comedy is an initiative of Silver Glass Productions, a non-profit dedicated to socially relevant productions. Willett is an off-Broadway playwright whose solo shows, PAIN and the Feminazi, toured both the US and Canada. She has worked with JJ Walker and Billy Ghardell. Tischbein is the winner of the Sarasota division of Florida’s Funniest Comedian and was recently seen at Gilda Radner’s Laugh Fest. "I love the idea of Smart Comedy", says Tischbein. "it's like a smart car: misunderstood, a little uncomfortable, but it's going to save the world".

A portion of the proceeds will go to fund Ms. Lowery’s second grade project, Giving Students a Voice through Writing. “Since we are expressing ourselves through our writing, we thought a writing project would be a great cause to contribute to,” says Willett.
