These Semi-Foolish Things

This website is, of course, about all things Fortune's Fool. Those of you who are big fans just might want to know about other projects that our co-artistic directors, Daniel Pinkerton and Ariel Leaf, are doing with other artists and/or other companies. Because they bring a little bit of Fortune's Foolishness to everything they do.

What the hell is Dan up to?

Daniel's play Do You Want to Know a Secret? (premiered by Fortune's Fool in 2006) was produced by Actor's Theatre Luxembourg in 2016! His musical The Lady with a Lap Dog (music by Robert Elhai) was given its world premiere in 2017 by Fortune's Fool. He is working on the musicals Hard Times, music by Gary Rue, and Chopin's Heart, songs by Gary Rue, and another new project. Watch this space!

What the hell is Ariel up to?

In addition to playing the title role in The Skriker in spring 2018, Ariel has written Have You Seen This Girl? which was featured at the 2018 Minnesota Fringe Festival. She designed lights for Preferred by Discreet Women Everywhere and The Feminine Surcharge at Freshwater Theatre in Fall 2018. She wrote and directed segments of the latter show, an anthology.
