THE HOLLYWOOD ADRIANA was named One of The Top Five Events of The Week by METROSOURCE MAGAZINE when it opened the DIXON PLACE 2018 QT: RAINBOWS ACROSS THE DIASPORA reading series in January of 2018. The Hollywood Adriana has received the honor of being invited to both the world-renowned HOT! FESTIVAL at DIXON PLACE (July 2018 45-minute version), and to premiere the full script at UNITED SOLO THEATRE FESTIVAL (October 2018 90 minute duration).
