Fringe Femmes

WHO: Chris Farah

WHAT: Fancy’s Hookin’ for Love

WHERE: The Hobgoblin Playhouse,  6440 Santa Monica Bl

WHY: Because Hookin’ for Love is a funtastical dive into what it means to be human. Because Chris Farah is fully locked in as Fancy, and her commitment lets us go on a wild ride of witty
banter, hilarious antics, and moments that unexpectedly hit you in the gut. Because it’s not just funny, it’s revealing. Because Fancy makes us laugh while nudging us to examine what we’re missing in each other.

Because in a world of endless scrolling, AI, and digital distractions, we’ve become experts at avoiding intimacy. And Fancy isn’t having it. Because love still matters. Because connection is still worth fighting for. Because Fancy reminds us with sparkle and grit that human interaction is still our most valuable currency.

WHO: Thea Pueschel

WHAT: The Injustice of Virginity

WHERE: The Hobgoblin Playhouse,  6440 Santa Monica Bl

WHY: It’s always fun to see a collaboration between a smart writer/director and engaging performer, and Dominique Turner is delightful as a self-effacing 20-something who’s determined to leave her hometown in CA’s Central Valley, specifically to get her cherry popped. Her destination? LA’s San Fernando Valley, the porn capital of the world. Thea Pueschel’s tale is an unexpected journey that hits close to home, with earned laughs and hard revelations.
