Your Best Odd Girl Out at Plays & Players Theatre

After a sold out run at Dixon Place’s HOT! Fest, Adrian Collins brings her hilariously passionate solo show to Philly Fringe.

Outpourings of charmingly candid intimacy and laugh-out-loud honesty blend into a collage of lesbian obsession in this solo show written and performed just for you. It's a first date, a one-night stand, an invitation to indulge in the fast intimacy that so often surfaces in queer dating rituals. Together, we’ll revel in all the things we love and love-to-cringe-at. This show is a celebration of life as a dyke in the 21st century.

With enough sapphic desire and earnest yearning to fill a U-Haul, by the end of the night you’ll have everything you need (aside from her birth time) to decide whether Adrian is YOUR BEST ODD GIRL OUT.
