Trans Mom vs. Family Court: Justice Sees No Gender
THURS, JUNE 5TH – 5:30pm | FRI, JUNE 13th – 6:00pm | SAT, JUNE 28th – 7:30pm
Why am I chronicling my transition to trans-mother while simultaneously fighting for custody rights in 1995 without an attorney? Because positive trans-stories are needed as witness of common ground and our rightful place in society. I’m sharing my custody battle for the first time publicly to help reframe trans stereotypes and empower our community and allies against dishonest rhetoric and discriminatory legislation.
Maybe telling this story risks backlash, but still I’m urgently compelled to challenge bias and hate, and save lives; especially as we face persecution and legislative animus trying to literally erase trans people!
My story highlights how transgender parents face discriminatory scrutiny in custody battles, where ‘best interest of the child’ is often weaponized against them based solely on gender identity. Despite psychological experts confirming that transitioning doesn’t affect parenting abilities, these biases persist in our legal system.
Set in the 90’s, my story also shows that being ‘trans’ isn’t some recent phenomenon. We have always been here and always will be.
Transgender rights are revoked daily. As of April 2025, there are over 850 anti-transgender bills under consideration nationwide, with 219 actively being considered as of January 17, 2025.
Some of us feel like giving up, fleeing our country. They want us terrified. States like Kentucky and Nevada have terminated parental rights based on gender identity. We cannot bear more parents being separated from their children, more trans suicides, more hate crimes – and more lies.
The issue extends beyond courtrooms into broader civil rights challenges affecting LGBTQIA2S communities. As more people live authentically, trans custody disputes increase, forcing some parents to choose between their truth and relationships with their children. This reflects an openly coordinated pattern of attacks – from challenges to same-sex marriage, sports participation, restroom choices, medical treatment and adoption rights to restrictions on discussing gender and sexuality in schools.
These efforts connect with increased surveillance of marginalized groups and attempts to weaken workplace protections against discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation. Their agenda is ultimately about controlling not just identities, but bodies, voices, and personal freedoms.
At this moment, trans rights are being rolled back decades and our very existence is being undermined.
In 2024;
* 46% of trans and nonbinary youth considered suicide (14% attempted)
* Anti-trans laws increased suicide up to 72%
* At least 32 trans individuals were murdered
* FBI data shows rising LGBTQIA2S hate crimes
I’m weaving live looping, reenactment, courtroom audio and transcripts, my music and photographs to entertain, educate, motivate and unify. My story demonstrates that authenticity and equal rights are as valid for trans people as for cis people and the potential impact demands that my story be shared. I truly appreciate your support for my play and for our community!

Making its 2025 debut as a Hollywood Fringe Scholarship Winner, El Mago Loco is a magician who only does what he knows: Latino magic tricks! But what happens when you show up (white, black, Asian-American, Brazilian?) and the audience isn’t 100% Latino? What follows is only una noche to prove his worth (magically, of course) and the discovery that true happiness in mediocrity is better than someone else’s (you!) version of success. Oh and yeah, he’s going to do that trick where he cuts someone in half (also you?).

Co-Writer and Director: Rosie Glen-Lambert
Co-Writer and Performer: Hailey McAfee
And Her Children is a reimagining of Bertolt Brecht’s play Mother Courage and Her Children which explores the American gun violence epidemic through the lens of a spokeswoman for the NRA. Inspired by former NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch’s infamous appearance at a Town Hall following the Parkland shooting, And Her Children is a fascinating meditation on what it means to be paid to defend the right to bear arms. Time holds still as our contemporary Anna Fierling is plummeted into a liminal space where the audience is a stand-in for her own troubled conscience. In this imagined space, she grapples with two gnawing questions: Has she been selfish? And will she keep her job?

Parking near the venue is extremely tricky and very limited. There is no designated lot, so you will need to find parking on the street. Plan to arrive at least a half an hour early to ensure that you are able to park, locate the theatre, and check in. We also highly encourage ridesharing services or public transportation as a way to avoid the parking debacle entirely.
As this show is part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival, we encourage you to see other performances in the festival and support Los Angeles theatre!

Thin Blood Memorabilia by Skylar Shen
Play Description: “Four seasons, a year of remembering; Four generations, a hundred years of deafening silence.”
On the cusp of turning 25, Juniper finds herself surrounded by boxes of forgotten keepsakes—tokens of heartbreaks, half-dreams, and one unopened journal from her late mother. What begins as a New Year’s act of curiosity unspools into a year-long journey across continents, languages, and generations. As Juniper follows the breadcrumbs of memory, she unearths the fractured lives of the women who came before her—mothers and grandmothers, whose stories span nearly a century.
Told through a kaleidoscope of voices spanning four generations of women, Thin Blood Memorabilia is a haunting solo work about what we inherit, what we forget, and what still lingers in the memorabilia we leave behind. Set against the backdrop of the Chinese-Korean diaspora, the play weaves together themes of generational trauma, cultural dislocation, and the complicated legacy of motherhood. Through the memorabilia she unboxes—letters, leaves, lullabies—Juniper traverses through the wreckage of their inheritance, confronts a lineage buried in silence and shame, and unveils the memories that refuse to fade.

Show Info
Buen Camino by Susan Edsall.
Susan has a perfect life, a perfect love, and perfect happiness. When she suddenly undergoes an unexpected loss, her perfect life ends. Consumed by excruciating pain, she finds it impossible to imagine any future worth living.
Until, on an ordinary trip to the grocery store, she hears The Voice. The trouble is, Susan doesn’t believe in Voices. And yet, when The Voice tells her to walk the Camino de Santiago in Spain, she obeys despite knowing nothing about this ancient pilgrimage.
At rock bottom, Susan has nothing left to lose except the stories that bind her to the past. With the help of some improbable Spiritual Guides and the Camino itself, Susan must face her past to have any hope of creating her future.
A solo show told through 23 captivating characters and dynamic multimedia, Buen Camino is an hour-long walk through 540 miles of rain, resentment, and redemption.
Directed & Developed by Jessica Lynn Johnson.

More about the production company:
My production company “Nightmare Lizard Productions” had two incredibly successful Hollywood Fringe runs with our shows Arizona Rain ‘23 and Dinosaurs ‘24.
Arizona Rain received the “Hollywood Encore Producer Award,” the “Theater Theatre Playwright Award,” and was a finalist for “Best Drama” and the “Loud Karma Emerging Female and Nonbinary Playwright Award.” Reviewers called it “A beautifully written show with an incredible and deserved arc” and “A really well-done play I’ll think about for a while.” Arizona Rain went on to receive press mentions in Broadway World, Fanbase Press, and The StageCrafts, and was featured on the podcasts Theater Theatre and Media Industry Guru.
Dinosaurs had an entirely sold out fringe run and received the “StageCrafts Official Selection” Award, as well as another finalist spot for “Best Drama” and the “Loud Karma Award.” One reviewer noted, “I felt like I was watching a show Off-Broadway or a Netflix series,” and another said it was, “A very human piece and a creative way to discuss a sensitive and important topic” and “The best play I have ever seen.”

Chelsea reluctantly attends the funeral of her father, a successful businessman and a pillar of the community. Or, in Chelsea’s perspective, a lying, cheating, asshole. You see, Chelsea would rather swim in a pool with hungry sharks than spend an evening with the self-centered narcissists she calls family, but, alas… her mother wants her there for the photo op.
This razor-sharp and scathing family satire with snappy mordacious dialogue and a keen understanding of dysfunctional family dynamics will keep you at the edge of your seat with hilarious and unexpected turns as well as poignant moments of true connection.

Welcome to motherhood: the gravity’s crushing, the breast pump’s relentless, and the only escape is orbit. In this critically-acclaimed solo performance, Jessica reimagines herself as an astronaut after giving birth—not to explore new worlds, but to survive the unforgiving terrain of early parenthood. Eat the Mama is a wildly funny, deeply tender crash landing into being a mom, where love, shame, and everything you once knew comes undone. It’s comedy on the surface, truth at the core, and a journey into being completely devoured by love.
Writer/producer/performer Jessica Mele is a comedy writer and performer who co–founded San Francisco’s longest-running female-driven sketch comedy group, Chardonnay. Now based in LA, she spends her time as an unwilling participant in her son’s Lego Star Wars games and writing parody songs about the patriarchy.

A “tangy, refreshingly honest solo show about motherhood.” – San Francisco Chronicle
“As a mother and advocate, I’m so incredibly grateful that you gave light to this in the way that you did. The darkness and lightness of motherhood and the dichotomy of love and torture is so hard to explain – and to do so in the way that you did, so artistically and bravely, is truly remarkable.” – Georgia Etheridge, The Pod Family Center

Show Info
In The Second Coming of Joan of Arc, Joan returns to share her story with contemporary women and unmask the brutal misogyny behind male institutions. Joan of Arc was a teenage runaway who led an army to victory. Defiant, irreverent, intelligent, and faithful to her own visions, she was one of the most well-documented figures of the 15th Century.
Performing Joan of Arc’s story is a deeply personal mission for Catinca Maria Nistor: “This text found me after emerging from a traumatizing experience working for the Romanian Foreign Cultural Diplomacy sector, after enduring blatant misogyny and mental and psychological abuse. Telling Joan’s story will bring healing and closure to a disturbing yet transformative chapter of my life. I would also like to use this opportunity as a safe space and a platform advocating for women’s rights and gender equality, encouraging women everywhere to share their own experiences and stories of overcoming maltreatment and discrimination.”
The Second Coming of Joan of Arc will resonate with contemporary struggles and empower the show’s audience to be conscious of the unseen, to stand up to cruelty & abuse and to open a discussion on gender equality issues, both historical and current.

Show Info
The world premiere of ONE UP: THE MUSICAL, a high-energy original musical set in the neon glow of the 1980s tech boom, is landing at the Hollywood Fringe Festival this June! One Up is a heartfelt celebration of ambition, friendship, and what it takes to make it on the digital frontier.
Bryson, a bright but untested intern at Classic Games, is an aspiring video game programmer who’s ready to level up. After sneaking her original game into the company’s Testing Day, the company’s CEO Greg begrudgingly agrees to let her develop it further under the supervision of Carol, his secretary and the one who keeps the wheels turning behind-the-scenes. As Bryson’s career begins to take off, she risks losing sight of what matters most: the community that inspired her and the friends who believed in her from the start.
The book was written by Mary Bonney and Weslie Lechner and music and lyrics were written by Matt Dahan, creator of Pulp Musicals and music director of acclaimed theater company Team Starkid. Hannah Globus, award-winning writer of The Relentless Award’s Picket Plays, joins as the show’s director.
In a groundbreaking move that honors the real legacy of women in gaming, the production welcomes Dona Bailey, co-creator of the iconic 1981 arcade game Centipede, as Creative Consultant. Her insight into the era and her trailblazing career inspired Bryson’s journey and the world of One Up.
“We wanted to tell a story that celebrated creativity, community and ambition while highlighting the often-overlooked women who helped shape the early gaming industry,” says Mary Bonney, creator of One Up. “It’s a love letter to console games from the view of their pioneering programmers and their passion that powered up generations to come.”
Don’t miss your chance to press start on the feel-good eighties musical of the summer!

Show Info
Dead Fat Corpse, a daring two-hander solo play by Barbara Lee Bragg, will make its Hollywood Fringe Festival debut this June, bringing audiences an unfiltered, semi-autobiographical journey through identity, survival, and the brutal realities of the entertainment industry.
Dead Fat Corpse is a dark comedy layered with metaphorical storytelling, drawn directly from Bragg’s own life as a young actor confronting Hollywood’s unforgiving terrain. At its heart, the play is a declaration of defiance and resilience. “Born out of pain—fire like a Phoenix arising,” Bragg says. “A poor kid from rural Wyoming gets into Yale Drama School and then has to fight like hell for the rest of her life to keep her dream alive. Never give up.” The play embodies that spirit, chronicling her relentless pursuit of a dream in the face of an industry that often devalues those who don’t fit its narrow mold.
The title Dead Fat Corpse comes from a real casting call that encapsulated the brutal objectification Bragg encountered—an audition seeking someone to play exactly that. The moment was a breaking point, pushing her to leave acting and take a telemarketing job. But it also became a turning point. Fueled by the pain and absurdity of that experience, Bragg returned to the stage with renewed purpose. Through biting humor and unflinching social commentary, the play explores the entertainment industry’s darker undercurrents, touching on themes of homelessness, self-worth, and survival—all shaped by Bragg’s lived experience.
Through biting humor and devastating truths, Dead Fat Corpse confronts themes of self-worth, rejection, and perseverance. Bragg recalls a formative piece of advice given to her by playwright John Patrick Shanley: “Most people are sleepwalking through life, and yet about 10% are walking around in constant amazement.” Bragg states, “this is why I wrote this. Because you can’t keep a champion down.”
Audiences will leave with a challenge—what will you do with your one wild and precious life? “You can be a hero to yourself,” Bragg states. “You pick yourself. FLY.”

“Hooligani” by Venessa Verdugo.
This show is based on true events.
Tetyana Komisaruk, a Russian madam active in the Los Angeles area during the 1990s, was tried and convicted for her participation in a smuggling ring that brought young women from Ukraine to the U.S. via Mexico with the objective of forcing them into prostitution.
In a bid for lenient sentencing, Tetyana addresses the jury and makes a deal for lenient sentencing:: She reveals how she went from growing up in a Moscow orphanage to becoming a criminal entrepreneur. She was incredibly successful….until the authorities caught up with her, that is. Now, she has one chance to make her case. Will the jury let her go free?
Performed by Venessa Verdugo. Produced by Jessica Lynn Johnson for Soaring Solo Studios.

SMUT with Entendre Entendre by Bryn Woznicki
What if your wildest sex stories came to life at a book launch that’s part confessional, part cabaret, and fully undressed?
“SMUT with Entendre Entendre” is a hot, hilarious, and unexpectedly heartfelt solo show premiering at this year’s Hollywood Fringe Festival before twirling its tassels to the legendary Edinburgh Fringe. Ripped from the pages of her real-life little black book, the show is written and performed by LA artist Bryn Woznicki under the direction of Rachel Resnik,
In SMUT, Woznicki becomes Entendre Entendre, a glitter-drenched seductress who spills on her many (many!) lovers, through storytelling, song, and striptease. But beneath the rhinestones and raunch is a deeper reveal: stories of intimacy, vulnerability, and the quiet ache behind the performance of pleasure and power.
Bryn Woznicki, an award-winning filmmaker and multidisciplinary performer known in LA’s drag, burlesque, and comedy scenes, brings her most personal work to date to Fringe audiences. Multi-awarded artist Rachel Resnik (A Drag Is Born, $$$) whose work fuses clown, comedy, and catharsis, directs the show.

Show Info
Have you ever watched the Pixar movie Inside Out* and thought, “if only there were an ADHD split-stage play production where a black college student uses her psychiatrist appointment to act out the mental breakdown she had over the school year by turning her mental illnesses into personified characters?”
Wait? What did you say?
Oh, were you thinking that only a mentally ill playwright looking for an outlet to process her mental breakdown would write a parody like that?
Well, that’s a weirdly intrusive yet accurate assessment. I suspect the fact that the protagonist and mental illness characters occasionally break out into spoken word poetry isn’t normal either.
Anyway…
It’s all over. There is nowhere to hide. Pre-med student Pandora has just failed her sophomore year of college without anyone noticing; except now, the spotlight is on her. She sits on a couch in front of the curtain, waiting for her new psychiatrist. This is not the hot girl summer she was hoping for.
An offstage voice introduces itself as Pandora’s new psychiatrist, Dr. Green. Pandora, being a deeply unserious person, cracks a few jokes while Dr. Green tells her that her test results demonstrate that she is experiencing dissociation, acute panic attacks, anxiety, and depression.
To properly diagnose Pandora, Dr. Green asks her to describe her mental state throughout the academic school year. She agrees. The curtain opens, and the play begins.
Pandora acts out her external world on the left half of the stage, whether it be the bus stop where Pandora gets stalked, the festering dorm room she shares with her best friend Myelin, a hospital room, or the poetry club.
On the right side of the stage is Pandora’s internal world, a tiny universe that consists of two rooms: the Control Room and the Breakroom.
The Control Room is where the magic or, um, chaos happens. Pandora has free will, but her perception of the world is dictated by a cast of comedic, well-meaning tyrannical characters, namely Dep (Depression), Annie (Anxiety), Libby (Libido), and Charisma. They all watch and interact with Pandora’s external world from completely different perspectives.
The Breakroom is where Auntie Em (Empathy) resides, the most powerful and vulnerable character in Pandora’s internal world. Auntie Em is the character who is needed the most to manage the chaos of the Control Room. Auntie Em has a small problem, though. She’s a hermit who refuses to go into the Control Room ever since Pandora’s childhood friend committed suicide on her watch. Whoops! Instead, she spends all of her time in the Breakroom, which she has converted into a crochet and cookie-filled therapist’s office where she counsels the remaining internal characters.
Follow Pandora (with Dr. Green’s help) on her quest to get diagnosed as she unravels the internal and external variables that led to her psychological decline.

BEST OF FRINGE – Capital Fringe Festival 2023
How far would you go to feel those you’ve lost?
After her beloved father dies, everyone tells Adedana that her father will always be with her. But she doesn’t feel him. At all. And she wonders, is she doing her first go of grief right?
In search of his presence, Adedana does the one thing she knows how to do: plan a grand adventure, a road trip to the Grand Canyon. Trouble is, she doesn’t have a driver’s license. And so begins the journey of a lifetime through the American Southwest, where she finds someone else entirely.
Grief Baby’s First Road Trip is a standup dramedy on the good, the bad, the funny, and the unbelievable of grief – i.e. the perks and perils African dad parenting, what people say that is (and isn’t) helpful, getting more attractive despite being really sad, and other things to expect when you unexpectedly lose your favorite person.
Prepare to laughcry/crylaugh at the show that earned 4.5 stars and a “Best of Fringe” designation at its world premiere at the 2023 Capital Fringe Festival in Washington, D.C.

Show Info
On a scorching hot day, Justice escapes Moron—ironically renamed Taft—and sets off down The 5 towards the porn capital of the world, eager to cash in that pesky V-card. This neurodivergent romp hilariously navigates the journey of fulfilling a biological urge through a trail of info dumping and a bit of misguided logic. Justice regales the audience with tales of misadventures and the awkward dance of social cues in L.A.
The story kicks off with a captivating rundown of Justice’s misfortunes in Taft and the struggle to find a suitable sex partner—every prospect back home is either a relative, an idiot, or both. When Justice arrives in L.A., the desire to sparkle as the Unicorn at a Swingers party takes root. After dropping trou too soon, Justice flees and ends up at a deserted Bear bar beer bust.
Through failed escapades, Justice learns all the ways not to lose her virginity—and realizes that there isn’t any logic in getting laid.

Show Info
Award-winning musician and storyteller Rain Perry brings her deeply personal and thought-provoking solo show, This Is Water, to The Broadwater Second Stage for a nine-show run during the 2025 Hollywood Fringe Festival. Blending personal narrative, historical reflection, and original music, This Is Water is one white woman’s journey—told with humor and heart–of looking anew at her white childhood, grappling with race, privilege, and identity.
In response to the social reckoning of 2020-2021, Perry set out to examine race in the best way she knew how: by looking inward. She began writing down every memory that had anything to do with race, uncovering how her own history shaped her worldview. The result was her 2022 recording “A White Album.” Now in 2025, several songs from that record find their way into This Is Water, a theatrical performance that responds directly to the perilous moment in which we find ourselves now. Rain holds up a mirror both to herself and her audience, creating an empathetic space for those who may feel defensive or uneasy, or who feel they have already “done the work.
“All big social issues are best told through a personal story,” Perry explains. “I wanted to challenge myself to hold myself accountable onstage and hope audiences will do the same.”
Through live music, song, multimedia, and storytelling, Perry brings to life formative moments—from a childhood story about her (white) mother’s Black childhood friend to her own reckoning with white feminism. While the workshop production of This Is Water initially felt like a blend of a TED Talk and a concert, it was originally conceived as a play. The team has since worked to make it more theatrical, deeply personal, and both vulnerable and urgent: a personal reckoning told with honesty, warmth, and live music. Perry strips away academic detachment and grounding every historical reference in personal experience. The show encourages audiences to move beyond defensiveness, embrace discomfort, and engage in a deeper conversation about race in America.
This Is Water: Written and performed by Rain Perry, directed by Kim Maxwell, music director Mark Hallman, dramaturg Lindsay Jenkins and musicians Jeff Turmes and Karen Hammack.
About Rain Perry [rainperry.com] is a singer-songwriter, playwright, and filmmaker known for her deeply personal and socially conscious work. Her music has been featured in film and television, and her theatrical productions blend narrative and song to explore themes of identity, memory, and justice. “Beautiful Tree” was the theme for the CW Network’s Life Unexpected, on which she also had the surreal pleasure of appearing as herself. She has released six albums on her own Precipitous Records, as well as writing and touring a solo play about her childhood called Cinderblock Bookshelves: A Guide For Children of Fame-Obsessed Bohemian Nomads. In 2016 she directed The Shopkeeper, a documentary about the impact of the streaming economy on the longest continuously operating recording studio in Austin. Rain’s new record, A White Album, wades into the fraught topic of the day: what does it mean to white in America? Can we face our demons head on?

Syncopated Debauchery: A Ragtime Celebration
by Eve Elliot
Award-winning pianist Eve Elliot is your raucous guide into the colorful world of Ragtime, a scandalous yet irresistible music born in the barrooms and bordellos of 1890s America. You’ll meet some of our story’s heroes – and villains – and get a glimpse into their lives and the songs they wrote. Expect plenty of vaudevillian antics as we delve into questions like: Who kidnapped Fats Waller? Why did Jelly Roll Morton own so many suits? How did Scott Joplin uphold his artistic vision amid a slew of rejection? What does “funky butt” mean? The Ragtime era is brilliantly brought to life in this hilarious and poignant one-woman show full of thrilling costume changes, bombastic characters, and virtuosic piano playing.

Show Info
It’s opening night of The Threepenny Opera in Berlin, 1928 when Kurt Weill steps into Lotte Lenya’s dressing room and drops a bombshell that her name is not in the program. Absolutely furious, Kurt demands they cancel the opening night performance. Lenya laughs in his face. She has been through far worse than this in her traumatic past.Lotte Lenya grew up in a slum, beaten repeatedly by a cruel father, endured hunger and crushing poverty, rape, and repeatedly found herself in morally compromising positions as she struggled to survive and advance herself.
She’s come so far, and now that she has her dream role, Kurt must allow her to go on stage and sing. But will he? Infusing a new contemporary score composed by two time off Broadway award winner Shelley Cooper, with dazzling multimedia, this solo show takes a gritty look at a woman who fled her abusive home, survived adversity and blazed a trail as a landmark performer.

Titi Lee is breaking all the rules and you’re invited. In Good Girl Gone Baddie (Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Berlin Fringe Festival), non-binary comedian Titi Lee takes the audience on a hilarious joke-filled hour as they weave standup, storytelling, Kpop, and drag together on a journey to find their baddest self. With tales from their “straight” sorority girl days to their bisexual baddie adventures in threesomes to becoming the man of their own dreams, Good Girl Gone Baddie is an endearing take on trading in a desperate need to be good for the freedom of being yourself.

In her new solo show, comedian Viva Rose revisits core memories in an attempt to discover what exactly made her so mentally ill. Rest assured, Viva’s show is not needless trauma-dumping, it’s a lobotomy. In one hour of dark stand-up comedy and storytelling, Viva will fix her brain chemistry once and for all.

Show Info
The year is 1804. Napoleon Bonaparte has just been crowned Emperor of France and he would really like his younger sister to behave like a good girl. Her new husband, Prince Camillo Borghese of Italy, would appreciate the same. Pauline has other ideas.
When Camillo commissions the renowned sculptor Antonio Canova to create a virginal statue of Pauline, she shocks the world by instead posing buck ass naked.
This play takes place at the party where the statue is unveiled.
At it’s heart, this is the story of men in power telling a woman what to do with her own body — and that woman tells them to f*** right off.

Victoria has a massive crush on her neighbor. He fixes her kitchen sink and men being useful is sexy.
As can be expected, he turns out to be a serial killer. Should Victoria call the cops? Maybe.
But not before she confronts him.
She was sure there was a spark between them. Then he murdered twelve women and none of them were her. She deserves an explanation.
She’s just gotta do her makeup first.

Show Info
IMGONNAWANNA: an exploration of being trapped in a bathroom and what it can take to find a way out.
“If you’re looking for the ultimate luxury getaway, this is not your hotel…”
Set in a crumbling Seattle hotel with more ghosts than amenities, Rowe’s story spins out from a single moment of entrapment—stuck in a bathroom with nowhere to go but inward. What follows is a multi-character, multi-layered excavation of pain, identity, and the weird comfort of bad customer service jobs.
IMGONNAWANNA is an unexpected journey through one woman’s psyche—sardonic, raw, and steeped in physical comedy. Developed under the mentorship of acclaimed playwright and performer Lauren Weedman (Hacks, Abbott Elementary, Arrested Development), this unique solo work blends memory, humor, and the absurdities of life into a stream-of-consciousness rollercoaster that’s as emotionally rich as it is entertaining.

What They Say:
“Loved the frame of the story. The physicality was so beautiful and detailed, it reminded me of the mime Bill Bowers. I loved how you told vulnerable stories with a sense of humor, as a woman who has experienced both thematic elements, I felt safe while in the audience. I loved the flow of the story, how specific and easy it was to know a transition happened.
I loved laughing so much.”
“Loved the whole Performance – the energy, the range, the timing, the humor!”
“Jen moves beautifully and honestly through moments so quickly and so truthfully.”
“Layered and interwoven with hilarious, entertaining elements that seem superficial, but aren’t really. The effect was of a slightly manic stream-of-consciousness, a dip into the psyche of someone who’s wounded but tough, intermittently self-aware, and endearing. I loved it overall. The physical element, the acting-out of various phases, was also brilliant and engaging.”
“Loved the pace and flashbacks. The bits of info that may not make sense yet – then lock into place as the story unfolds”
“I loved how she wove all the stories – So many things – I loved her physical work”
”The characters and transitions, the use of the chair, all so memorable…she’s created something really beautiful.”
”Really liked the show. I’ve filmed hundreds, and hers is up there.”
”Loved it! Especially the perfectly specific physicality.”
Performance History:
Since its 2022 10 minute debut at the Broadwater Theater, IMGONNAWANNA has evolved through workshops and performances at the Santa Monica Playhouse, The Siren Theater (Portland), and the Whitefire Theatre Solo Fest, with generous support from the Kinsman Foundation.

“So Baby” by Talisa Friedman
The struggle to get into a top college is real these days – the New York Times said 2024 was “Peak College Admissions Insanity.” But what happens after you’ve finally been accepted?
Miri begins freshman year with big dreams for her college experience (read: boys and books), but she quickly finds herself caught between her two more “forceful” roommates. Jordyn is a powerful, or power-hungry, leader in the Black community; Roksana is a selfish aspiring model. As the tension in their dorm room bubbles over, the girls confront betrayal, heartache, and what it means to have power in this world.
So Baby is a world premiere play by Talisa Friedman, winner of the National Jewish Playwriting Competition. It is co-directed by Josie Andrews, whose experience as a USC film professor has given her quite the window into the messy world of college coeds, and Sierra Nutkevitch, who specializes in stories about complicated women…which definitely applies to the women in this play.

Show Info
She was an overly curious Black girl in an Appalachian family that only rewarded piety. He was a Welsh pop star thirty years her senior, hanging with supermodels and writing lyrics with sly references to Jacques Derrida. Obviously, they were star-crossed lovers. In October of 2021, armed with two tickets and a burning desire to see her first love, Tabatha arrived alone in England, ready to see her favorite band perform an anniversary show. Two days later, Tabatha arrived alone in Philadelphia, covered in bruises and questions after an assault by a stranger. In this solo hour, she explores the absurd experiences she endured to find the language to explain what happened to her and why exactly she’s always been laughing this hard.
How Do I Hold It? is written and performed by Tabatha Myers. It is premiering at the 2025 Hollywood Fringe Festival.

From barely qualifying for The Itty Bitty Titty Committee to being president of The Big Booby Brigade, join Rachel as she enlists her subconscious, and her talking breasts, to help her decide: Can you have too much of a good thing? Rachel will take you through her childhood and puberty, traumas and fears, joys and triumphs, to work through her conflicting emotions about her big boobs, and find out what loving herself and her body unconditionally really means.

When you put two multi-hyphenates together, you can’t just do one thing. Peep is a comedy variety show, with a mix of sketch, dance, physical comedy, stuntwork, character, improv, and a wee bit o’ clown. It’s silliness, camp, and play chaotically thrown and tossed about, by two AAPI with graduate degrees. But, don’t expect anything highbrow, even though Peep shines a light, through a prism of quirk and fun, on our common humanity: suffering, longing, shame, identity, health, politeness, authenticity, relationships, and basic Maslow needs.

Show Info
UNTIL DEATH
An absurdist theater clown show and self-portrait touching on death, existence and relationships
Nalini Sharma makes her US premiere of her highly popular and critically acclaimed Edinburgh Fringe show at The Hollywood Fringe ‘25! The biographical clown show ‘Until Death’ is an absurdist, feminist, pragmatist, clown-ist, anti-centrist, pre-industrialist, present-dogist, post-experimentalist show… There is something for everyone!… Except children (show rated 18 ).
Nalini is a bat trapped in a hospital. Her not-so-solo show, UNTIL DEATH, combines absurd theater and clown to explore the liminal space where time collapses and humans panic in moments of death and existence. During her childhood in India, Sharma spent an ungodly amount of time in hospitals after multiple motorcycle accidents. The stories are an amalgam of the real people (and animals) she encountered and her imagination that kept her from dying of boredom during her hospital stays. Through them she explores the tenacity of human (and animal) spirits that are fighting for their lives and discovering who they are.
Nalini Sharma has been described as a hilarious, beautiful, soulful firecracker by both her friends and enemies. As savage, classy, bougie, ratchet by all her exes. And a giant pain in the ass by her mother. Nalini spent her childhood on several naval bases in India and grew up in several small towns in the US. She was raised by an untrained Doberman, has survived more than one motorcycle accident, the pain and joy of a “passionate” family, a competitive academic education, her apartment burning down and is currently surviving (not well) clown comedy nights in Los Angeles.
DIRECTOR: BENTE ENGLESOFT
Bente Engelstoft (The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Unstable) is a four-time Emmy award winning writer and producer based in Los Angeles. She entered her director era in 2018 with Bill Posley’s The Day I Became Black (Best Solo Show and Top of the Fringe Nominee at the 2018 Hollywood Fringe Festival). Bill and Bente teamed up again in 2024 for The Day I Accidentally Went to War (Best Solo Show – Off-Broadway), which is on its way to London for a run at SoHo Theatre in the fall. This summer, Bente has the pleasure of directing The Troll by Rochée Jeffrey, Do You Accept These Charges? by Laurie Magers and Until Death by Nalini Sharma – all of which are headed to the Hollywood Fringe Festival 2025.

WINNER OF THE 2024 TUCSON FRINGE: BEST DRAMA
A woman battles the curse she has inherited from her ancestors – the Futakuchi Onna. This Japanese monster, also known as a yokai, manifests as a heckling mouth on the back of her head. The Futakuchi Onna impedes the woman’s pursuit of music, destroys her relationships and leads her to despair. And yet, the Futukuchi Onna also has some lessons to teach. With acceptance, one can find balance, understanding and the courage it takes to be yourself.
Featuring original music and a short film, the raw vulnerability of this solo show will haunt and inspire you.

How do we navigate intimate relationships that are both defined and confined by institutional walls? How do we seek closure when unfolding past trauma feels like tearing up an old wound? Should we protect our loved ones at all costs, even if it means hurting others?
Fish in the Tank is a one-act play exploring these haunting questions through an intimate and turbulent coming-of-age journey of two queer characters, Echo and Rae, set on the rooftop of an all-girls boarding school. The play begins when they see each other for the first time in six years, after an unspoken incident completely altered the course of their lives.
In an institution ruled by fear, surveillance, and control, the two girls embark on a quest for truth and freedom. But how can they truly escape – through love, death, or something beyond?

Show Info
Jessica is a middle aged, middle income, mostly average white lady, who has had abortions. And those abortions led her to study the history of abortion in the United States, because she’s a bit of a nerd. And then she wrote a really big play about Ann Lohman- an Abortionist in the 1800’s and all around badass! And she thought that the abortion chapter of her life was closed, she was almost menopausal after all…But then came Dobbs. And then 2024…. And Jessica realized that having written a play about the history of legal abortion in the United States made her an expert in a niche part of legal history that is now very important.

“#PeasantVibes” by Mikkel Simons
You are looking at the face of a woman who has never not been asked “do you work here” while shopping. #PeasantVibes. Come, join her and a few other plucky peasants in this solo show, as we explore peasant vibes in the days of old and in modern times.
#PeasantVibes is a dramedy, satirical one woman show that explores the timeless, often invisible labor of the working class – blending historical perspectives with the everyday struggles of modern-day workers. From peasants of old, working the land to little or no reward, to the modern-day worker being abused by the people and industries they serve. #PeasantVibes is a darkly humorous chronicle of the frustrations and realities of the people who labor behind the scenes.

Me, Myself and Other
by Diana Romero
DESCRIPTION:
Me, Myself, and Other is a heartfelt and humorous solo performance that explores identity, resilience, and the power of self-acceptance. The show follows the journey of a first-generation American woman navigating life’s complexities—balancing cultural identities, overcoming the stigma of feeling “othered,” and facing a life-changing diagnosis.
Her life shifts dramatically with her diagnosis. Suddenly, she’s navigating a new reality—one defined by physical limitations and societal misconceptions about disability. Despite the setbacks, her journey becomes one of self-discovery and empowerment, showing that the challenges she faced in the past have prepared her for the greatest fight of her life.
CREATIVE TEAM:
Maggie Whittum, director, producer and theatre actor/director who is a stroke survivor; TL Forsberg, HDD Scholarship mentor who is Deaf/Hard of hearing and myself, Diana Romero, an MS warrior who uses a wheelchair. We are the Dream Team of disabled creatives!

Show Info
πr2 by Pia Nicoletti is a solo woman performance with live art-craft projections.
With visceral roots, it comes almost necessarily, to explore, to have fun, to embrace emotions, and to let ourselves flow through the process.
Physical theater, dance, aerials, sound and crafts are the core of expression in this speechless performance, where feelings, corporality, and art itself create a universal language.
Switch off your mind, unmask your heart.
Witness 4 vital processes that a person goes across, part of a possible infinitely expanding spiral. Rebirth, Maturity, Darkness and Healing: a journey through emotions, decisions, and situations.
Beliefs rooted in expectations, routines, distractions, anxiety, sadness. What would happen if time stopped mattering to us?
Illusion, it is just an illusion.
What unites us as humanity?
Honoring native ceremonies, and ancestral medicine. Reflection, inspiration, compromise, self-awareness or delightful entertainment, it is up to you.
The team:
Pía Nicoletti: creator, director, actress.
Catalina Nicoletti: art-craft projections and illustrations.
Borja Carvajal: sound and graphic design.
