HOLLYWOODN'T Chronicles One Woman's Journey Across Hollywood's Unsettling Sexual Landscape
Lisa Verlo performs HOLLYWOODN'T a solo show and personal journey across Hollywood's unsettling sexual landscape. Directed by and developed with Jessica Lynn Johnson in association with Whitefire Theatre for the largest solo theatre festival on the West Coast SOLOFEST 2019.
A sexual resume told with candor and insight into the life of an actress before women dared to speak up. With original songs cowritten with Frank Simes, Musical Director for The Who, Lisa Verlo brings a light heart to a heavy subject. Creative visuals and video projections add to the multimedia recounting of her experiences on the casting couches of LA. In true Broadway-meets-La La Land style, she'll have people singing #metoo along with her.
The performance will be followed by a brief Q&A and reception with complimentary refreshments and treats.
