Hollywood Fringe Festival Scholarship Winner (Wahoo!)
21+ AUDIENCESONLY
A mental health crisis escalates to full blown emotional pandemic, and the government calls on Liza and her Superfamily to save the day. Combining fantasy and autobiography, multimedia and originally composed music, Supernova is a musical comedy that successfully explores the need to be the hero who tries to take care of everyone else and ultimately arrives at the celebration and necessity of taking care of oneself.
Liza is thankful to bring levity to a delicate topic and be part of the new direction and transformation mental health is taking in society. Her intention is to offer a story of love and hope; that being one’s authentic self is a superpower enabling you to thrive no matter what life throws at you. It also shows how doing what you love is a way out of the darkness. Everyone is the hero in their own story. And with every story comes trials, tribulations, and a villain keeping us from what we want. Real life is much less black and white than a traditional superhero tale. There is light and dark in all things. By emphasizing the importance of perspective and acceptance through the lens of music and comedy, audiences can’t help but be transformed as our protagonist is, as she learns how to see the light in all things and make peace with who and where she is.

—- ACCESSIBILITY-
Making this story available to ALL people is a huge passion and priority to Liza. The Three Clubs Venue was specifically chosen for this purpose as it is extremely wheel chair friendly (no limitations to seating sections, the chairs and tables are movable so we can accommodate you ANYWHERE) One performance will have a sign-language interpreter. We are eager to continue making art accessible and would love to hear from YOU if you have ideas on how we can continue to grow that direction!
