HEALTH SCARE PROMPTS ONE MAN SHOW TO BOOK AT HOLLYWOOD FRINGE FESTIVAL

Talking To Yourself

Jan Solomita a 57 year old Life Coach from Mar Vista, California was suddenly confronted with a series of debilitating symptoms while on a trip to Boston, that left him literally speechless. Upon his return to Los Angeles Jan immediately booked his one-man-show Talking to Yourself with the Hollywood Fringe Festival. In the spirit of ‘I’m not going to live forever’ the show was conceived of and scheduled at the last minute. Unlike some of the more elaborate productions going up as a part of the Festival Jan’s offering is truly a one-person-show as it is both written and directed by the artist. Talking to Yourself will play on two nights as a part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival. The location: Fringe Central: ArtWorks Theatre & Studios,Studio A, 6567 Santa Monica Blvd. Dates and times: Saturday June 11, 10:30 PM (preview) • Friday June 17, 9:00 PM

During his ordeal Jan visited a long series of ERs, clinics, and specialists while seeking medical treatment for his mystery condition. At its height he had lost his voice and his sense of taste, could not eat or drink, and his face was partially paralyzed. On the mend now Jan decided that there’s no time like now to put on a show of some of his favorite pieces which now includes this story. His material is inspired by his life and his personal take on some universal themes such as love, family and the weather. Currently a Life Coach and creative speaker Jan helps people sharpen their speaking through his coaching. A former comedian: Jan appeared in September 2010 at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco as one-half of the comedy team of Fran & Jan. Talking to Yourself is a blend of prepared pieces and creative banter offered by this unique artist. Bookings can be secured at Hollywoodfringe.org.
