Lisa Verlo performs HOLLYWOODN'T a solo show and personal journey across Hollywood's unsettling sexual landscape. Directed by and developed with Jessica Lynn Johnson in association with Whitefire Theatre for the largest solo theatre festival on the West Coast SOLOFEST 2019

A sexual resume told with candor and insight into the life of an actress before women dared to speak up. With original songs cowritten with Frank Simes, Musical Director for The Who, Lisa Verlo brings a light heart to a heavy subject. Creative visuals and video projections add to the multimedia recounting of her experiences on the casting couches of LA. In true Broadway-meets-La La Land style, shell have people singing #metoo along with her.

The performance will be followed by a brief Q&A and reception with complimentary refreshments and treats.

Lisa Verlo is a writer, performer, and lyricist whose songs have been featured on film and TV. Lisa explored a landscape of poetry, art, and music while driving across the US in a blue Westfalia. After recording albums of spoken word and song, Lisa settled in a canyon on the West Coast, and teamed up with composer and musician Frank Simes collaborating on and creating musicals. Verlo and Simes staged their original musical The Door at the Sierra Madre Playhouse. Lisa has performed her one woman show Sex Rated G at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2015 and the Hollywood Fringe Festival in 2018. HOLLYWOODNT, directed by and developed with Jessica Lynn Johnson, is a reworked exploration of Sex Rated G that delves deeper into the gray area of sexual harassment.

"Lisa tells her Hollywood story of sex, innuendo and unhinged promises with wholesome candor, whimsy and irony. What she sought and what occurred, while pursuing a career (before Me Too) is carefully articulated and forthright, sparing the rancor for a brainier approach. Her voice is wonderfully expressive with flashes of humor and emotion. Shes ON! And her work has the ring of Truth."- Elizabeth Converse

"Lisa is a vulnerable, charming, and refreshing artist. She generously shares her experience as an aspiring actress before boundaries in the entertainment industry were a thing - the subject of her story is both relevant and told from an honest and human perspective. The songs she wrote herself and performs in her show are both funny and powerful. This is a brave and relatable piece!"- Julia Schramek"

Loved, loved, loved this show! Lisa Verlo does an amazing job relating her sexual awakenings from childhood to the more real exploitation in Hollywood. Her portrayal of her youthful and young adult navet is both vulnerable and, at times, amusing. The use of digital media, props, and music add to the entire experience. A must see!!"- Marti Griffin
