Performance Artist Makes Hollywood Debut
LIVE from His Home in Washington, D.C.
Connecting with Hollywood from 14,282,400 feet away

Hollywood, CA via The Internet (July 16, 2021​) —

Amid a 12-country, 35-city, 170-show virtual world tour (during a global pandemic), award-winning performance artist and actor Brian Feldman will bring the online version of one of his signature projects to the 2021 Hollywood Fringe Festival.

“#txtshow (on the internet)” is a crowdsourced, immersive, multiscreen performance featuring a mysterious character named txt (pronounced “text”) who recites a script written anonymously in real-time by YOU! It’s the best show you’ll write all year.

Created and performed by Brian Feldman, this LIVE, interactive performance takes place on Zoom, originating from his home in Washington, Douglass Commonwealth. This critically acclaimed, award-winning production serves as Brian’s Hollywood Fringe and Los Angeles debut.

Only 22 tickets available per show!

Please Note: This LIVE* online theatre show relies on a high level of audience interaction. Audience members must keep their camera and microphone on the entire time they are in the show. The content of the show is based entirely upon what audience members write in anonymity and, as such, may contain mature themes, profane language, sudden loud noises, and potentially triggering content or themes. Recommended for 18+.

*If it’s not live, it’s not theatre.

This project was supported by the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities.
