About the Project
“PostPardon Me,” is a one-woman seriocomedy written and performed by Liesel Hlista and directed by & developed with Jessica Lynn Johnson. It premiered at SOLOFEST 2020, the largest solo theater festival on the West Coast.
“PostPardon Me” follows a new mom, Liesel, through her surprising postpartum journey deep into the trenches of toddlerhood. Given the privilege of raising a tiny human, with less required testing than she got at the DMV. She is writing her own manual that can help her brave through the storm trying to raise a child, maintain her marriage and attempting not to be a complete hot mess on the daily.
With honesty, hilarity and a bit of song, "PostPardon Me”, breaks down the taboos of being a new mommy and tells it like it is with some unexpected curveballs along the way. This shit is cray, like literal shit…so much shit. Through so many diapers and so few showers, Liesel Hlista is out to save the world, one vagina at a time.
