SoloCom NYC '25: McGaffigan/Souchack/Muller at The Pit Annex: Global Comedy Studios

Alwaysandforever.net – KATHERYN MCGAFFIGAN

When her college crush doesn't return her feelings, a flustered young woman becomes infatuated by a celebrity who closely resembles him. What begins as a fun escape quickly morphs into a series of unlikely chance encounters, sending her (and her friends) on an international adventure that brings them closer and closer to the star.

I Belong at Flannel Fridays – HOLLY SOUCHACK 

Figuring out you're queer is the easy part (thanks Youtube!); the real tricky part is finding out what spaces you belong in. In this new solo piece, Holly explores figuring out her sexuality and attempting to find her place in the LGBTQIA+ community. What does it mean to be "straight appearing?" Can she have a boyfriend and still call herself "bi?" She has a septum piercing, sure, but does that mean she can attend Flannel Fridays, a mainly lesbian dance night? Where does she truly…belong?

Robocopera – NIKKI MULLER 

Composed of original arias and "expert" commentary, Robocopera is equal parts love letter to Detroit's greatest fictional hero and the operatic canon. (Watching Robocop beforehand is strongly recommended for maximum enjoyment.) A retelling of the classic 1987 action movie, sung entirely by one coloratura soprano in German (and a little Italian)? I’d buy that for a dollar!
