WHO:  Vivia E Armstrong

WHAT: Bellyful

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

WHY: What a revelation and truly special gift to witness Vivia onstage. She glows and embodies her story in a way that inspires, uplifts and leaves enough room for us to be in testimony not only with her, but also with ourselves.

Never an easy feat, a solo show, but she draws us in by opening our hearts to what we are often desensitized to in our daily lives: our humanity. Not everyone makes it through. Not everyone will have the courage nor support to make the attempt. Vivia, in the most magical of ways, shows us life is a Bellyful of risks that either lead us closer or further to who we truly are.
