W H A T I S S O L O P E R F O R M A N C E?

-> Beyond stand-up and storytelling, solo theater creates casts of thousands - plus special effects - all bursting from a single performer. The results are hilarious and soulful, passionate and provocative, ablaze with personal visions.

DIANE BARNES
--------------------------------
"My Stroke of Luck"

Diane's horse suddenly stops. Whats his problem? she wonders, never guessing he knows something she does not. Other riders try to take the reins, but Diane refuses to hand them over. She's not being stubborn. She just no longer recognizes the wiggly ropey things in her hands are reins.

KELLY RAFFERTY
--------------------------------
"Good Company"

Kelly walks into a bar. She sits down, orders a cocktail, and tries to ignore the women who are now staring and whispering. Why does this always happen? Is it the outfit? The face? Should she say something this time?

SARAH ELOVICH
--------------------------------
"Resting Elovich Face"

Sarah hasn't been feeling that great since the election. But her boss thinks that her problem is... her face. Why do so many of Sarah's friends think facelifts are the answer? As she contemplates going under the knife, Sarah encounters some unexpected wisdom, right in the deepest wrinkle in her forehead.

HOUSTON ROBERTSON
--------------------------------
"Victory for the Recycled Virgin"

Barbara, a virgin bride of the 50s, divorces at 43. She is sad, angry, naïve, and lonely. "Will anyone ever want me?" she wonders. She longs to dine at the restaurant up the street on the corner and her good-neighbor upbringing gets her a complimentary glass of wine after work. "Hello, I'm Paul, one of the cooks. I thought maybe I could join you." And he does.
