Exclusive: Jessica Lia Berry Launches I’M STILL NOT THAT GIRL Tour

Following its Los Angeles debut and official premiere on Theater Row in New York, I’m Still Not That Girl, the one-woman show from actress and writer Jessica Lia Berry and director Bailey Nassetta, is hitting the road for a U.S. tour this March. 

Announced exclusively by BroadwayWorld, the pair will take center stage for the show in the markets of Philadelphia, Boston, Atlanta, Portland, also returning to both Los Angeles and New York. Tickets are available for purchase here. The full list of dates is below. 

The news comes following Berry’s debut at this year’s Sundance Film Festival as executive producer for The Co-Op for director Aristotle Torres, which debuted at the premiere Rideback Rise, Highway Labs and Adobe’s Development Program. 

I’m Still Not That Girl is a dark comedy that first premiered at Hollywood Fringe Festival and won “Best Festival Debut” at United Solo Fest in November. The show follows a young woman grappling with the loss of her mother and the complete lack of a roadmap for adulthood that comes with it.

Left to navigate this thing called life, she dives headfirst into a string of questionable choices: old flings, identity crises, a fake engagement, a maybe-pregnancy, and enough therapy to make up for all the years she avoided it. While her journey starts as a hilarious downward spiral, somewhere in the chaos are the values her mother instilled in her, resurfacing when she needs them most.

The tour aims to generate conversations around grief with different audiences across the country. “After losing my mother, I didn’t know which direction I was moving in. One thing became clear, life is short, and I didn’t want to live with regrets. I know my mother didn’t,” said Berry.

“I had a story to tell, and my tragedy pushed me forward, allowing me to transform it into comedy, well dark comedy," she continued. "With the I'm Still Not That Girl tour, I hope to reach new audiences across the country, connecting stories of grief with lots of laughter. I mean, if you’re not laughing, you’re crying.”
