Coming to Terms

In a real life tragedy-turned-good story, performer and playwright
Slash Coleman brings his award winning one-man show to the
P-town Fringe Festival this week. The Neon Man and Me was
written by Coleman after the sudden death of a 20-year friend he
met in college (the friend was a neon artist), and the discovery
by his friend’s girlfriend just one month after his death that she
was pregnant.
In the show, Coleman plays 30 different
characters telling the “expressive,
touching, and very funny” story of him
coming to terms with his friend’s death.
Coleman, who has worked with non-
profits throughout the show’s history, has
raised over $10,000 and is currently
working on two things: raising enough
money to help with living expenses for his
friend’s son and to perform the show off
Broadway by 2007.

Tickets $15. The Neon Man hits the
Fringe boards Thurs. July 13 at 9 p.m.
and Fri. July 14 at 7 p.m. at the Waterfront
Theatre, 1 Commercial St., Provincetown.
