Los Angeles, CA – THE EPISTLE OF HER is coming to the 2024 Hollywood Fringe Festival, June 9, 23 & 29; performed at the newly renovated Madnani Theater, 6760 Lexington Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90038.

The Epistle of Her is a chorepoem, written and performed by Leslie N. Polk, where she finds herself at the dinner table after an enraging experience that leads to questions about the impacts of race, religion, gender, and sexuality.

With a mix of brute honesty and humor- and through awe-inspiring poetry, deep expressions of movement, and thought-provoking monologues – this autobiographical solo performance commemorates and celebrates women from the past, calling the performer and the audience to cultivate spaces of personal and communal well-being.

So come on out for dinner, where you will witness and be transformed as Polk time travels, receiving messages of healing and hope from an elder Mother, Spirit Guides, and letter writing with the ancestors.

Leslie Polk is a native of Ft Worth, TX and an acclaimed orator and poet. She has filmed choreopoems and performed spoken word/poetry throughout several locations including the DFW metroplex, Washington, DC, and New Orleans, LA. Leslie has partnered with the award-winning Fringe veteran Jessica Lynn Johnson to direct and produce this show.
