One-Act Play HIPPOPOTOMONSTROSESQUIPPEDALIOPHOBIA to Premiere at The 2024 Hollywood Fringe Festival
Performances will be held on June 8, June 16, and June 23.
By: Blair Ingenthron
As part of the 2024 Hollywood Fringe Festival, playwright and producer Dawn Branch will present a new play, Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia. It will be shown at The Hobgoblin Playhouse.
"Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia" centers on two women working to overcome one's anxiety. Hairstylist Nora brings her best friend, Elle, to her soon-to-open salon for a haircut. However, Elle's all-encompassing anxiety leaves her unwilling to sit in the chair. Quickly devolving into a scene of catastrophizing, this is a sometimes silly play confronting friendship, trust, fear and growth.
This is the first Fringe for everyone on the Hippo team!
