Meet Aaron Aronson: A polite, frustrated accountant with an overbearing Jewish mother and a laundry list of medical conditions. Hyper-allergenic, hyper-paranoid and borderline agoraphobic, he invites into his world to see what it is like being the only Jew working at the accounting firm of Christian & Christianson. An Evening With... Aaron Aaronson. Don´t forget to bring your psychiatrist.
Physical actor Marc Frost originally created the role of Aaron Aaronson at the London International School of Performing Arts (LISPA) in 2009. After several public appearances in London, the nebbish accountant went into hiding. Following a year of social hibernation, he has apparently resurfaced in the Windy City with a new story about his solitary struggles. Reported sightings of the nebbish accountant have come in from various sources:
ϖ“Cunningly clever” – writes the Honorable Baron of Baronson
ϖ“Downright disappointing” – says an unnamed ex, named Rhea
ϖ“Oh, Aaron you forgot your Xanax pills again!” – barks Dr. Hannah Aaronson out the front door
Born in Chicago, Mr. Frost has performed in Ireland, England, Scotland, Spain, Brazil and the US (including Boston, Austin, Fort Worth and Chicago). In summer 2009, he created and performed Superman the Show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. This past spring, he performed in São Paulo, Brazil, in the country’s largest humor festival, Risadaria. This coming August, he will perform with Clowns at Work in An Evening with…Aaron and Esther and Macabret at the Camden Fringe Festival in London. Currently, he is launching a new physical theater company in Chicago named Theater Un-speak-able (www.un-speak-able.com). In the summer of 2009, he earned his M.F.A in Lecoq Based Actor Created Theater from Naropa University/LISPA.
