In 1997, 13-year-old Victoria Montalbano was introduced to her perfect man, Han Solo, and she's been looking for him ever since. Watch her grow from awkward theatre kid to professional out of work actress while swiping her way through a galaxy far, far away!

Her stories have been featured at STORY CLUB CHICAGO, UNIVERSAL SOUND, TENX9 CHICAGO, WE HAVE QUESTIONS, POUR ONE OUT, and more. Since the world premiere live-stream of The Princess Strikes Back in 2021, the show has been produced live around the Chicagoland area, and virtually as part of Theatre Crude in Oklahoma City and the Los Angeles Women's Theatre Festival. She has performed in Storefront Theatres all over Chicago, including Redtwist Theatre, Pegasus Theatre and Pride Arts, and was part of the iO Chicago improv team, Plus-Prov.

"I have wanted to bring this show to Florida since it was still in the workshop phase", says Montalbano. "The local theatre communities in Florida are incredible, there's nothing like them anywhere else. When I was growing up, those communities were my 'hang out spot', and that time in my life heavily informs the material in The Princess Strikes Back. I am so excited to be back performing in my home state for the first time in 15 years!"
