#FringeFemmes Check-Ins: Bean vs. The Robots

by Thea Pueschel

Quick peeks at #HFF26’s “Women on the Fringe” by Fringe Femmes who are behind the scenes this year. Click Here for all Check-Ins

WHO:  Michelle “Midge” Lema

WHAT: Bean vs. The Robots

WHERE: Hudson Theatres (Hudson Backstage) 6539 Santa Monica Boulevard

WHY: Grief, like space travel, thrusts you into the unfamiliar, where time and gravity cease to exist. You are invited (trapped) onto “Bean’s” spaceship and taken against your will into space and back through time. Worry not, intrepid space/time travelers! “Bean” will sing you sad little songs, chat with her keyboard (named Keyboard), flirt with her Evil Robot Boss, and of course, sing and make goo-goo eyes at “Elijah Woooooood.” Don’t make eye contact with her; you might fall in love. Midge Lema has crafted an immersive and sweet, tender, wistful sci-fi musical that catapults you through space, time and grief. “Bean” shares stories of redacted and redacted, her fascination with doors and feet, and songs about time vampires. This solo show taps into childlike nostalgia. It is a hilarious, sweet and an enjoyable evening of solo theater!
