Uh-oh you've got mail! Performance comic Elisa DeCarlo (Best of the Fringe '95 & '97) plays more than twenty characters, from crazy drunks to ravenous media types, telling the true story of what happened when a fellow member of an online alcoholics' support group confessed to the arson murder of his daughter-and Elisa had to decide whether to turn him in. "There's a good night of theater at the scene of a tragedy…an hour of laughs and applause!" The Journal News.

Michelle Cohen (director) was the New York producer/general manager for the Off-Broadway hit SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK LIVE! She also produced THE MISS ALPHABET CITY BEAUTY PAGEANT AND SPELLING BEE at the West Bank Cafe and HERE, both in New York. Other producing/directing credits: the original ballet TINA'S FEELING and the
musical JUST DESSERTS, both at Fordham at Lincoln Center; and DAPO AND STRAUSS: LOOSE AND FLOPPY at HERE. She currently produces through her own entertainment company, Fill 'er Up Productions, Inc.

Elisa DeCarlo (writer and performer) is making her fifth appearance at the San Francisco Fringe, and she is delighted! Elisa is a solo artist who has performed at theaters, cabarets and performance spaces all around New York, including the Westbeth Theater Center, P.S. 122, Dixon Place, and others. She also curates Broads, a monthly women's' literary and performance series, at PS NBC at HERE. In 1998, Elisa made international headlines for turning in Larry Froistad, who confessed online to over 200 people on an Internet listserve that he had murdered his young daughter. The story appeared on the front pages of newspapers around the world. Elisa told her own version of events in the article, "Murder, She Read," which was published in the May 11, 1998 issue of New York Magazine. In June 1999 Dateline NBC devoted a full show to the case, which Elisa appeared on. In January 2000, Toasted was one of the first presentations at NBC's new performance space at HERE, PS NBC. It was also a finalist at the 2000 Humana Festival of New Plays at the Actors Theater of Louisiana. In 1997, Elisa's one woman show I Love Drugs was part of the first New York International Fringe Festival. Previously, in 1995 I Love Drugs was the top grossing show of the 1995 San Francisco Fringe Festival, and chosen one of "The Best Of The Fringe". Also in 1997, her one woman show about sex and power, Cervix With A Smile, was the top grossing show of the 1997 San Francisco Fringe Festival, and chosen one of the five "Best of the Fringe".

Excerpts from a review in the August 21, 2001 Village
Voice, where it was reviewed as part of a double bill at HERE.

"Unusual and engaging...a great memoir told well. Self described as a 'fat, disgruntled alternative comic', ...this, she explains in ""Toasted", is why
she drinks and why she joins a self-help group called Moderation Management, an organization for people concerned about their drinking but who don't want to give it up entirely. Unsatisfied with the live meetings, she gets hooked on the email list, where she rises to 'list mommy' among a group of 200, many of whom post while sloshed. During a particularly bad binge, a list member named Larry confesses online to his daughter's murder, and the now familiar ethical dilemmas of such confidential sharing circles arise. As many in film have discovered, email is inherently undramatic. DeCarlo's writing, however, does a good job of bringing the electronic transmissions to life as a story...Despite the tale's chilling payoffs, DeCarlo leaves all the moral
ambiguities intact." James Hannaham
