A Crash Acting Workshop Production

Victoria Libertore has been channeling her version of Liza Minnelli for over 20 years. In this new solo show, “cabaret” meets a healing circle as Liza stumbles her way into conjuring the unexpected. Partially scripted and partially improvised, each show will be an off-the-cuff collaboration with the audience.

Victoria Libertore’s work includes eight theatrical solo shows, performance art, variety, burlesque and improv. She has performed her work throughout NYC from Coney Island's boardwalk to Off-Broadway, including venues such as Barrow Street Theater, Carolines on Broadway, Joe's Pub, Joyce Soho, PS122 as well as in Boston, Chicago, Montreal, Philadelphia, Provincetown, Toronto and Washington D.C. She has a BFA in theater from Otterbein University and has studied various approaches to acting including Grotowski, Chekov, Viewpoints, long-form improvisation and Balinese mask. She studies at Crash Acting where she also teaches Intuition for Actors and has loved performing in GREAT GOD PAN, AT THE WEDDING and PRODIGAL SON. She lives in Historic Filipinotown with her wife, and has fallen in love with Los Angeles and the community at Crash Acting. For the last 20 years, she has also worked as an intuitive practitioner, astrologer and energy worker. victorialibertore.com & intuitiveanimal.org
