Elizabeth Keiser's HORROR Hits Providence Next Week at Aurora

Actress and writer Elizabeth Anne Keiser brings her incomparable energy and freewheeling comedic style to Providence's Aurora for her newest show, HORROR on Tuesday, February 21 at 8:00 p.m. Admission is $10 at the door. Aurora is located at 276 Westminster St., Providence.

HORROR is a one-woman tour-de-force comedy written and performed by Keiser, born out of the chaos that is our post-election, pre-apocalyptic and internet-dependent society. As an artist, it seems that no aspect of her life, creative or otherwise is off limits. Keiser draws on her years as a working actress in New York, recounting auditioning for a touring version of HAIR, and such surreal brush-with-celebrity moments as meeting Icelandic pop goddess Björk, Hollywood actor Harrison Ford and even auto executive Lee Iacocca. In Keiser's newest work she plays both herself and her alt-universe versions of iconic celebrities, both as interviewer and interviewee.

Follow HORROR as it reveals a multitude of characters trapped in our gadget-driven society as they intermingle with one another and even face their worst enemies. Using music, video, and comedy, Keiser says that HORROR "just may just be the catharsis you didn't know you needed."
