SUGAR AND SHIT

Two Person Show · a sugar and sh*t production · Ages 18+ · United States of America

includes nudity world premiere

On August 8, 2021 THE HOLLYWOOD FRINGE FESTIVAL debuts Sugar and S**t starring Lori Hoeft and Lenny Langley at The Hudson Theater on Theater Row in Hollywood. The after-show Q&A will include Lori and Lenny along with an interactive creativity salon facilitated by their collaborators James Nave and Allegra Huston.

Sugar and S**t is a provocative dark comedy, inspired by true events, that combines memoirs of a sex worker named Sugar and chronicles of an unwanted adoptee named “The S**t,” who ate frosted flakes everyday and never forgave her mother for setting the house on fire. Sugar and S**t, though seemingly from separate worlds, take the audience on a wild whirl through meetings with a variety of deranged characters like nuns, priests, sinners, firemen, tiger poachers, and classic clients at a strip club. Eventually, Sugar and S**t meet on their shared quest for sovereignty, as the show closes with the finality of their freedom.

Rated 18+ This show contains adult language, explicit topics, nudity, and tigerlicious content.

Lori Hoeft, on Sugar and S**t, “Putting up Sugar and S**t gives me the stage to be a fierce, no boundaries female artist; it allows me to break out of the cage of sexism and have my voice heard, wild and free.”

Lenny Langley on Sugar and S**t, “I wanted space to not only bring my personal stories to life but to create a provocative, hilarious, and enlightening look at how people attempt to fill their voids — the empty holes in their psyches — left from childhood trauma, addiction, mental health issues, or just the simple shitshow of life.”

The show was made possible thanks to our generous crowdfunding patrons, in-kind donations, startup funds, and big-hearted volunteers.
