THIS FRIDAY: "Stepping On A Few Toes" by Jasmynne Shaye

Hey Folks!
There's some good sh*t going on toward the end of the week! First up, Friday the 24th is the opening night of "Stepping On A Few Toes" by Jasmynne Shaye at the NoHo Stages in the NoHo Arts District.

I don't know much about Jasmynne, but her one woman show "Stepping On A Few Toes" has been getting rave reviews, and has garnered many comparisons to last year's film "Precious".  I'm not one to praise comparisons, per se, but I am a fan of any woman with the balls to stand half naked on a stage and tell her story. Here's some info about the show....

 

"In her involving one-woman show, writer/performer Jasmynne Shaye describes growing up as the emotionally and sexually abused child of a single mother, and of her struggle to vanquish the demons bred of a lonely and loveless childhood." - LA Weekly

Bring tissues.

"Shaye’s harrowing narrative of despair is punctuated by dance pieces, which enable her to lose herself. Dance, having been her solace throughout childhood and beyond, is equally a character in her show, as are the 12 different friends and family members she portrays. They enable Shaye to portray through movement and emotion what she might be unable to get across in the book of the play." - LA Theater Review

Ms. Shaye will be hosting a Q&A after this performance. There will also be a wine and cheese event and apparently a giveaway. What that could be, I have no idea.. But free wine!

The show opens this Friday, September 24th at the NoHo Stages, 8pm.
