GETTING THERE! Extended By Hollywood Independent Theater Festival at the Hudson Theatres

Getting There! is being extended by the Hollywood Independent Theater Festival at the Hudson Theatres on October 23, 7 PM.  Written, produced, and performed by Rebecca O'Brien. Directed by Cameron Watson.

Getting There!  is a funny, heartwarming show that celebrates The Miracles of traveling with strangers as Rebecca commutes to and from the clinic for treatment for a life-threatening illness. She takes the bus with her little service dog. These travel stories, mental and physical, have an edge but are also charming, intriguing and will fill your heart.

Far from encountering an excess of big city nastiness and alienation, she finds that many of her fellow passengers end up offering her warmth, compassion, humor, joy, friendship and community. Who would have thought that you'd find these things in Los Angeles?


Rebecca pays tribute to the many different characters she met on the bus by portraying them in her show Getting There!

Rebecca observes, “I honestly believe I was sent angels…. I am open to how the universe is filled with good hearts in it. And since I am open, I see them everywhere.”
