Of Mice and Women at Xora Odelle's Personal Residence

Xora Odelle

Xora Odelle is a performer, director, writer, and poet. She is a native Bay Arean, but over her years of living in Philly, she has developed a fondness for the city. She is excited to be part of this season’s Philly Fringe Festival, especially with the stunning team of Of Mice and Women. She graduated with a B.A. in Liberal Arts, concentrating in Theatre and Literature, from Hampshire College. Her recent credits include directing Goldie and the Green Mountains in the Philadelphia Women’s Theatre Festival and playing Enobarbus in the Fringe Festival production of Antony & Cleopatra: A Shakespeare Jawn. She is a strong believer in the power of stories to enact change in both the personal and political realms. A favorite past production of her’s was directing Marisol By José Rivera, who is one of her biggest artistic influences. She is passionate about creating art that evokes the all consuming wave of feelings that were evoked in her throughout her life and drew her to attempt a career in the arts, which, as she has been reminded throughout her life, is a moneyless field. When she’s not creating or hanging out with her cat, Princito, she can be found making patrons uncomfortable by journaling in crowded bars.
