solo show

A night of two very different solo shows in one very same solo hour.

Dark comic exploration of sexuality (and lack thereof) through the lens of a confused girl growing up in religiously conservative Mexico, where her chief romantic outlet is a giant stuffed teddy bear. Vanessa Lua hilariously illustrates that virginity can, in fact, survive marriage.

Sparked by the death of his father and birth of his daughter, Comedian Bill Santiago goes in search of answers at the border of science and religion, exploring the comic nature of the cosmic quest for understanding existence, life and death (not necessarily in that order).

In 1995, workers at Willard Asylum in New York state discovered 400 suitcases of former patients, their owners buried and forgotten. The objects within - time capsules of lives interrupted. This work-in-progress features 2-3 scenes told through Object Theatre, using only items from each case.

A tragicomic one-man show that invites you to experience life, death, and all the scary stuff in between through the eyes of 12 people on the Metro Expo Line train. Come for the laughs. Stay for the tears. Leave with an annoying song stuck in your head.

A woman is on the verge of her 60th birthday and she's not handling it well! As the clock ticks, she tries to come to terms with aging, culture, sexuality, and ultimately mortality. Will she wise up or break down?

Written & Directed by Morna Murphy Martell Played by Ariel Labasan Yuri Kochiyama, an unsung hero whose fight against injustice began in the internment camp of Jerome, Arkansas that led her to streets of Harlem fighting alongside Malcolm X during the civil rights movement.

Are you a Cultaholic? Then the Cult Master will see you now! Steven Fales (Confessions of a Mormon Boy) takes Obsessive Cult Disorder to a whole new level with songs, parodies, stand-up and more. Leave your common sense at the door!

"Grow a garden." The idea hits Paul like a meteor hitting the planet and he’s off. He reads the books, sows the seeds, and before his first tomatoes ripen, departs on a crusade to save the planet one precious seedling at a time. Saving himself, however, may prove the harder battle.

In commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the BLACK POWER MOVEMENT (1966-2016), Meshaun Labrone wrote "POWER!" Stokely Carmichael. The play takes an absurdist journey into the mind of revolutionary, Stokely Carmichael.

After a series of heartbreaks, comedian and storyteller Christopher Piehler finds his own way of recovering from getting dumped: going on horseback riding trips around the world. From Ireland to Scotland to Hungary to Malibu to Australia, he falls off horses, into bogs, and back into love.

This veteran character actor and beloved "movie-dad" of Julia Roberts, Hilary Swank, Molly Ringwald, Helen Hunt and many more, shares with you his 60 year career, and his lifelong love of comedy. Mostly funny, often touching, this one man show explores the ways life imitates art and vice versa.

Back in the 70's on a hippy commune, siblings Aurora and Polaris were raised to be "Lightbringers" for a changing planet. But darkness now calls to a middle-aged Larry, and flaky Aurora may be his only chance against a collapsing black hole of depression - if the space aliens don't get him first.

"I Am Vertical" is a dark comedy about wanting to die, and is comprised of sketches, monologues, puppetry, storytelling, and improv. This show carries the theme of dealing with depression and anxiety, based on the creator's personal experience.

This show pays homage to Gilda’s infamous characters, quirky songs and stories of how she used humor to get through the struggles of a life cut short. Be transported back to a time where humor was innocent yet edgy and poignant. This is a glimpse into the timeless spirit of a girl named Gilda.
