“Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia” centers on two women working to overcome one’s anxiety. Hairstylist Nora brings her best friend, Elle, to her soon-to-open salon for a haircut. However, Elle’s all-encompassing anxiety leaves her unwilling to sit in the chair. Quickly devolving into a scene of catastrophizing, this is a sometimes silly play confronting friendship, trust, fear and growth.
This is the first Fringe for everyone on the Hippo team!
