Sorry About My Friend is making its premiere run at this year’s Hollywood Fringe Festival. The play follows the journey of college students, Danielle and Katie, through their roller coaster years as roommates in a small Texas town in the mid 2000s. This quirky odd couple, with perfectionist Katie and free-spirited Danielle, learn even a fast friendship has its hiccups. A dramedy in eight vignettes, clocking in at an hour, Sorry About My Friend visits the fall and spring semesters of each year of college. It opens June 10th at Stephanie Feury Studio Theatre – 5636 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90038.

In the era of female empowerment, come celebrate the complicated beauty and power of female friendship. Obsessive Katie plays by the rules while wisecracking Danielle writes her own rulebook. Will the girls’ differences build a bond like Thelma and Louise or burn down a city like Joan and Bette?
