FROM BUZZFEED

YOU. has been EXTENDED!

With hundreds of shows to choose from, how can you get the most from Hollywood Fringe Festival 2016? Easy. See these three plays and be glad you still see theater.
In just 45 minutes, co-directors Megan Foley Marra and Chuck Marra take 13 stories delivered by 13 actors across all ages, and provide audiences with nothing but gratitude. Fans of storytelling shows like The Moth and Taboo Tales will be touched and moved as each story of personal honesty and truth are beautifully related in an intimate space.
One story may be about a sexist male boss determined to break a woman (Jodi Adler, heart-wrenchingly authentic). Another will bring us a tale of a mother whose children leave home and leave her torn to pieces (Laura Lanoil, equally heartbreaking). Another woman (Jessa Pyette, soulful and loving) talks about being taken in by a Mormon family.
Why the title? Each actor speaks to the audience as if we are the person they are speaking about. With each voice, every member of the audience is placed repeatedly in a position of being thanked. The effect is profound, as we are each transported into our own memories, thinking about those we mean everything to.
