POONSTRUCK Comes to San Francisco Fringe Festival

POONSTRUCK™ follows a shero's journey told through the orifices of Dr Tallulah, a fiery Sexual Activist, Zen Cosmetologist, and Intuitive Energy Healer. Imagine a metaphysical cross between Archie Bunker, Dr Ruth, Carol Burnett, and Maria Bamford with a splash of cosmic organic viagra! Dr Tallulah's twisted storytelling involves a personal revelation, embodies the zeitgeist of a New Age baby boomer generation, utilizes Qi-Gong Gi-Long foam rolling techniques, and taps into 'La Femme Fontaine' (just a little (spr)YAY!)!

This hilarious journey juxtaposes physical pratfalls with seriousness, absurdities with sincerity, and pathos with humor while walking the line between satire and the performer's (Nesbitt's) own vulnerability in her quest for intimacy!? ?Come witness Dr Tallulah's humorous and spiraling descent into the exploration of her sexuality, which ultimately reveals her HEART's truest desire. ?Everybody welcome. ?No vagina is necessary to tap into the fold! ??'Heartfelt, hilarious, and total activism!'
(THINK: ?original, one women, story, performance, physical comedy, foam roller)?

?KELLY NESBITT (producer/performer) is a writer and contemporary performance artist based in Portland, Oregon, who creates original outlandish performances that are character driven, rooted in movement-based theater, find power in the femme experience, and defy easy categorization. Audiences members have described Nesbitt's performances as transcendentalist hilarity, wonderfully wrenching, and utterly inexplicable! kellynesbitt.com
