Chooch, Bummy Bum and Inguele!

Believe it or not, these are not Beyonce's latest dance moves. "Chooch, Bummy Bum and Inguele" are actually terms of endearment used by Debbie Cabezas with her son Marcello, a local Toronto theatre and film impresario. Marcello Cabezas is the classic indie arts triple threat: actor, producer, marketer. At Toronto Fringe 2009, he adds writer to his long list of titles with his new play, Chooch, Bummy Bum and Inguele: From Child to Man-Child. Suck My Thumb Co-op with generous support from macIDeas and in association with Starvox Entertainment, Matt Birnbaum and Derrick Chua present the play in its World Premiere at the 2009 Fringe Festival in Toronto. Canadian Comedy Award Nominee Cabezas makes bold moves and assumes ego risks that would make even a Second City veteran blanche in this autobiographical show which runs at Factory Studio Theatre until Saturday July 11th.

In this comedic tale, we meet Marcello and his mother Debbie whose relationship is legendary in certain circles. For the first time publicly, their innermost thoughts of how they have grown together will be revealed. The end goal? Create a treaty, a legal document that Marcello and his REAL mom Debbie will sign off on at the end of the show. The purpose: to agree to tangible changes in their relationship. Have you ever heard of a mother and son signing such a document? And now in a public forum? Neither have we, and hence that's what excites us!

From the producers that brought you hit productions like This is Our Youth, Directed by Woody Harrelson , Matt & Ben, and the Fringe New Play Contest, Chooch, Bummy Bum and Inguele: From Child to Man-Child is the true journey of Marcello Cabezas ' trials and tribulations growing up in a single parent Jewish family with a special cameo by his mother, Debbie and a yet to be named actor/actress to play her in certain scenes.

In true Fringe experimental fashion , several of the top award winning theatre artists of our time including David Ferry, R.H. Thomson , Nicole Stamp and Chad Dembski will work with acclaimed film director Charles Officer to shape this story. From a script penned by Marcello Cabezas with dramaturgical wonder from Daryl Cloran and Ravi Jain , this show will prove to be one of the hits of the Fringe, because if its not, Debbie will take it personally.
