BLACKOUT: A ONE WOMAN SHOW Comes To The Exit Theatre In Arcata
Awarded “Best Drama” at New York City’s 2023 United Solo Festival, Blackout: A One Woman Show comes to The Exit Theatre in Arcata
Blackout: A One Woman Show, awarded “Best Drama” at New York City’s 2023 United Solo Festival, comes to The Exit Theatre in Arcata.
Grab a cold beer and a sunflower and settle in.
In "Blackout," Hailey Henderson takes on the role of her ex-boyfriend, her abuser, her Title IX coordinator and more in a radical reclamation of her survivor story. With "brilliant comic timing and an excellent script," this breathless performance invites you out of hiding and into the light.
"Blackout" debuted on the back porch of Henderson's home in Seattle during the summer of 2021. This performance kicked off a sixteen show West Coast tour of porches and theaters in six cities. In 2022, the show began touring university and college stages, where its unflinching dramatization of relationship violence, identity formation, and resilience inspired students to take the risk of speaking their truth.
