“I MET SOMEONE!” PREMIERE

I Met Someone

For Immediate Release

CHERYL FRANCIS HARRINGTON
ISN’T AFRAID TO ADMIT “I MET SOMEONE!”

Solo Show Gets World Premiere at
Hollywood Fringe Festival Beginning June 8, 2012

Los Angeles, CA – Award-winning actress CHERYL FRANCIS HARRINGTON will debut her new solo show “I MET SOMEONE!” at the Hollywood Fringe Festival, which chronicles her lifelong search for true love in all the wrong places.

“I Met Someone!” is the poignantly funny story of Cheryl’s winding escapades with the opposite sex. She takes us from one relationship to the next, with a seemingly endless parade of disappointing dates, sewn together by years of self-help guru’s trying to assist her struggle to find ‘Mr. Right’ and her desperate attempts to make a meaningful connection with two father figures, both of whom she will never come to know. Themes of self-esteem, belonging, and the tenuous structure of the contemporary black family quietly frame the edges of this riveting dramedy.

The show was conceived by Harrington in a workshop with Kimleigh Smith & Paula Killen. Harrington was looking to shine a spotlight on the universal struggle to find love, explaining ‘I MET SOMEONE!’ pays tribute to those who have the courage to release the past, heal from pain, and open your heart to love…it will find you."

Harrington is certainly no newcomer to the stage scene. She received an NAACP Image Theatre Award for her performance in the one act play “AH-Ha Moments: Butterscotch & Fudge,” and was nominated for an LA Drama Critics Circle Award for her leading role as Annetta Barton in the Los Angeles Actors Theatre production of “Eden.”

This Harlem, New York native has been building a solid resume on-camera since moving to Hollywood. Cheryl’s sharp voice work earned her a series regular role as The Haiti Lady on Eddie Murphy’s hit animated show “The PJ’s.” She has also starred on numerous hit television shows, including “Up All Night,” “Criminal Minds,” “Glee” and “Brothers & Sisters.” Some of her feature film credits include “The Under Shepard,” “Into the Wild,” “Sgt. Bilko” and “Lethal Weapon.”

Cheryl Francis Harrington is represented by Geddes Agency.
