As part of the 2024 Hollywood Fringe Festival, playwright and producer Dawn Branch presents a new play, Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia. It will be held at The Hobgoblin Playhouse on June 8 at 7pm, June 16 at 3:30pm and June 23 at 11am. There will be a YouTube livestream on June 16, with playback available for one month. (Both live and livestream require tickets, available here.
"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!
