Performed by Katie Molinaro, with Dana Wells on acoustic guitar, RSVP:RIP (Really Into Partying) is a brand new rock musical comedy about Janey, one of Hollywood’s hottest nobodies. When she takes an ominous internet quiz that predicts her death, she must plan the sickest funeral LA has ever seen! But first, she needs to become an A-List celebrity, write her obituary and rent a moon bounce. Will she get famous before she dies or die trying? One woman. One guitarist. One week to live.
