One Woman Show Chronicles Real Life Journey From Waitress to Wife of Columbian Cartel Member

(Los Angeles, CA) – File this story under “True Life is Stranger than Fiction.” Former Discovery Networks and Technicolor Executive, Donna Thomas, takes the stage beginning June 4th at the Hollywood Fringe Festival, in “Southern Belle to Mrs. Cartel.” The 30-minute one-woman show, shares her true-life journey from an innocent college student and waitress in Atlanta, Georgia to being married to a prominent member of a Columbian Drug Cartel. Except, she had no idea.

“The Hollywood Fringe Festival is the first time I will be sharing my story,” said Donna Thomas, writer/creator and performer of “Southern Belle to Mrs. Cartel.” “After more than 15-years of never speaking of my ‘former life’, through the festival’s support, I am thrilled to be taking the stage and sharing my story.”

Margot Leitman, Moth Grand Slam Champion, and one of the most sought after experts in the art of Storytelling, is directing. Producing is Brian Palatucci, who has been integral at bringing the story to life through archival photos and video.

From Southern Belle to Mrs. Cartel will be running for four dates throughout the festival at the Improv Olympic West Mainstage.
June 4th 8:00 p.m.
June 12th 10:00 p.m.
