To everyone in the New York City area,Ron Coulter is a seasoned playwright, director and actor who taught me ventriloquism when I was twelve. He's retired now, but Ron and his partner Sid Star just can't stay off the stage - so they're bringing their latest ventriloquial play, JIHAD FOR VENT AND DUMMY, from San Francisco's FRINGE festival to the FRIGID festival in New York City.

Globe-trotting performers Ron Coulter and his wooden-headed cohort, Sid Star, concentrate on expanding the typical ventriloquist act into longer theatrical forms. Together, they have written and performed dozens of dramas all over North America and in Europe. Their latest piece, Jihad for Vent and Dummy, mixes pathos with mordent humor and is provocative, insightful, shocking and hilarious. "Few ventriloquists risk the demands of character and plot-driven theatre," says Coulter."JIHAD for VENT and DUMMY"February 25 to March 8, 2009Frigid Theatre Festival, New York City
