EDITH VS. QUARANTINE: 89 & ONE TOUGH COOKIE Premieres As Part Of Virtual SoLow Fest

Edith Shlivovitz, a ferociously spirited octogenarian, hasn't left her apartment since Covid-19 descended upon NYC. Through belting showtunes to her taxidermied cat, pretending to be a snake, Zooming with her long-dead husband, and much more, she shares her journey during these solitary months and the lessons learned along the way. Created and Performed by Amanda Erin Miller

SolowFest is a Do-It-Yourself festival dedicated to new, experimental performance. With all shows being pay-what-you-can (PWYC), the festival proudly exposes audiences to performers breaking new ground in the raw. SoLow Fest was founded in 2010 by Philadelphia performance artists Thomas Choinacky and Amanda Grove. Now in its tenth year it is currently run by Chris Davis and Tanaquil Marquez and is entering the virtual realm for the first time to accommodate the times we find ourselves in.
