Small Victories: An Unflattering Vanity Project

[hello.kristen]

Hi CIN!

It's me, Kristen Studard.

I wrote a solo show.
It runs Sunday night at 9:30 pm at the Annoyance from May 9th - June 13th.
I'd love it if you came.

Here's what the press release says:

Versatile comedian Kristen Studard takes the spotlight with this sharp new solo show exploring the joys of life's Small Victories. Studard's characters take us to silly and absurd places while giving voice to irrational fears, secret shames and sexual confessions. We meet a Hungry Hungry Hippo who might actually be full, hear what our household objects really think about their lives, and witness a bee's steamy encounter with a lonely house-flower. Smart and playful, Small Victories sheds a hilarious and often harsh light on the lies we tell ourselves to get through each day.

Today is Mother's Day.
It is also my Mom's birthday.
My Mom won't be at the show tonight.
I hope you will.

Happy Mother's Day!

"Kristen Studard's "unflattering vanity project" presents wacky, often hilarious characters with unique stories to tell. We meet Shirley, a video-blogging Girl Scout with an over-the-top sense of melodrama; a Hungry Hungry Hippo who's sick of eating little white balls; and multiple household objects just itching to sing their sorrows. Well structured and thoughtfully directed by Kate Duffy, this production is a fun vehicle for Studard's versatile comedy. Whether she's stuffing her face with marshmallows or bringing to life a flower's inner monologue, Studard's wit and excellent timing shine through. The show's best moments--such as a brief coming-of-age sketch featuring speaking roles for Studard's three outdated forms of identification--are improvised." --Marissa Oberlander
