WOMEN & THINGS A New Character Show From Mimi Von Schack To Premiere At The Lyric Hyperion
Mimi von Schack plays both women and things in this multi-character cabaret.
Fall into Mimi von Schack's fantastical and fabulous inner world of almost-alive objects and larger-than-life characters: from a fading starlet to a biblical bombshell, a desperate telephone to a bra that's just been taken off.
"Women & Things" is written and performed by award-winning comedian Mimi von Schack (Julianne St Germaine: Live!, Upright Citizens Brigade, The Groundlings, Hollywood & Edinburgh Fringes) and directed by John Milhiser (Saturday Night Live, Ghostbusters, Drama Club), with live music by Marshall Ross (Carly and the Universe).
von Schack describes the show as "Peewee's Playhouse meets Liza with a Z: it's a camp take on exaggerated female tropes and the simple silliness of everyday life." With eye-catching costumes and rousing musical parody numbers, this character cabaret pokes fun at the minutiae of being a woman.
"Women & Things" will be performed May 17th and 31st at 7pm at the Lyric Hyperion, located at 2106 Hyperion Ave, Los Angeles, CA, 90027. Tickets are $18, and are for sale online at www.lyrichyperion.com/events/women-things, or in-person by visiting the box office at the theater.
Mimi von Schack is a comedian, host, actor, and writer in Los Angeles. She's performed in Las Vegas, New York, London, and on the main stages of the Groundlings, the Upright Citizens Brigade, iO West, The Cavern Club Celebrity Theater, and The Lyric Hyperion, among many others. Her award-winning work has been featured in the LA Scripted Comedy Festival and the Hollywood and Edinburgh Fringes.
