As a huge lover of old Hollywood, silent films and vintage everything... I absolutely adored this little show.
At the helm of it all is adorable Julisa trying to find her way as an old-fashioned gal in a much different Los Angeles than she had bargained for. Her guide of "tips" to get noticed is from an era long past. She visit hotspot locations in hopes of being seen but upon her arrival, finds out that the hippest place in town has turned into a popular retail chain. This outdated list leads her to find out how much Hollywood has changed from glitz to glib.
Julisa demonstrates her silent film background with great success. Her movements are exact, well formulated, choreographed and everything plays to the house very well. Her char...

It was well worth the moderately long journey to Hollywood Fringe to see "Dear Hollywood."
Julisa Wright showcased her many talents in this sweet journaled road trip from hometown to Hollywood. Witty writing and quick pacing made the 30 minutes fly by. Ms Wright revealed many characters from crazy to cute via her definitive development and physical/vocal performance skills.
