EdFringe Talk: Revelation

Posted in *EdFestivals 2026, *Written Interviews by

“I’ve grown as a theatre maker and human, making new connections with beautiful people in beautiful places!”

WHO: Chriss Waterman

WHAT: “The four horsemen gather at Mama Ruby’s Restaurant in Nowhere, North Carolina for their annual apocalypse conference, convinced that this is the year that the world will finally crash and burn. Unfortunately for them, humanity seems to have other plans. Created by an ensemble of students from Ithaca College, this world premiere explores humanity’s stubborn dedication to doing good even when the forces (or the horses) that be are trying as hard as they can to make it impossible. Will civilisation finally crumble, or will the horsemen’s plans be halted by the power of human connection?”

WHERE: Upper Theatre at theSpace @ Niddry St (Venue 9) 

WHEN: 16:50 (60 min)

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

This is my second time at EdFringe and I couldn’t be more excited to experience the festival again! EdFringe is such a special celebration of humanity and art; from little exchanges that happen while flyering to wildly incredible shows, the connections and liveliness of the festival are what make it so exciting!

What are the big things you’ve learned since 2025 and have you absorbed any of the lessons yet?

International travel and developing new work have filled the past 12 months of my life. I’ve grown as a theatre maker and human, making new connections with beautiful people in beautiful places! I’m grateful for new work and travel for expanding my adaptability, confidence, and creativity.

Tell us about your show.

REVELATION is a heartfelt window into how human connection supports us through some of life’s hardest battles. Between comedic moments, we see the characters face struggles we – or our loved ones – experience in our lives. Trevor Hemmerling (playwright) has crafted a story that allows us to feel pain and frustration in the comfort of a homey diner with the safety of the setting bringing the truths of the play to a very real and tangible level.

What should your audience see at the festivals after they’ve seen your show?

After Revelation, go see the rest of what LATI is bringing to Fringe this year!

Be sure to catch It’s A Struggle Coming Out which is running back to back with our show! It is making its international debut following a sold out run in LA, it brings you everything you could want in the form of campy queer vampires and their thirst for authenticity.

Guns In Dragonland is back after a critically acclaimed run at last year’s festival with a new production and cast. It’s a powerful and moving show about the very timely subject of gun violence in American classrooms. The show is somehow tender, inventive, yet quietly devastating, the kind of hour that gets people talking long after they leave the theatre.

I would also make sure to catch DECKHAND which received 5 stars at Hollywood Fringe and makes its international debut in the last week of the festival, it is a fast paced comedy set aboard a sinking ship that explores the toxic and nuanced relationship between an assistant and their boss.
