Schmaltzy & Princie: Diary of a Not-So-Great Daddy's Girl

[NoHo Arts District, CA] – The world premiere of the one-woman show “Schmaltzy & Princie: Diary of a Not-So-Great Daddy’s Girl” is written and performed by MaryLee Herrmann, directed and developed with Jessica Lynn Johnson and will be at this year’s Hollywood Fringe Festival in June.

MaryLee has never been able to wholeheartedly commit to, or finish, well… anything. Even with her daddy’s undying support. MaryLee’s dad, ‘Schmaltzy’ has been her best friend her entire life, always there for her. But, her mother, not so much. Now in her 50s, with a Sundance screenwriting competition deadline looming that could be a life-changer, she clings to Anaïs Nin’s words, “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” MaryLee has less than three days to “blossom,” for however much a post-menopausal woman can blossom. She needs to overcome her fears, stop dreaming and start doing—and it all begins with this script. But before she can succeed, a few people in her life are going to have to go. Tickets and info:
