Village Players Theatre Closes 101 HUMILIATING STORIES, 5/2
Village Players Theatre will end its run of "101 Humiliating Stories", a hilarious one woman show that confronts embarrassing life events head on May 2nd, 2010.
In "101 Humiliating Stories", Shelby Hofer dives deep into the universal experience of humiliation. With her trademark charm and intimate delivery, Hofer shares a series of humiliations past, present, and future, including exquisitely detailed anecdotes like "Geeky Celebrity Encounters" and "How I Spent All the Petty Cash From My Office on Makeup." An invitation to perform at her high school reunion in Lansing, Michigan, triggers another series of anxiety-filled fantasies. How will she, a lesbIan East Village performance artist, cope with her Midwestern classmates? 101 Humiliating Stories is evocative, moving, and, overall, hilarious. Curt Holman of Creative Loafing listed 101 Humiliating Stories as one of Atlanta top ten plays of 2009.
"101 Humiliating Stories" stars Shelby Hofer. The show is written by Lisa Kron and directed by Lawrence Keller.
