"Our mission is to present transformational solo theater that changes the way you think and feel about the things that matter," says Wolk, "I'm thrilled to be recognizing
Eva Price, an outstanding producer who brought
Carrie Fisher's one-woman show
Wishful Drinking to the Broadway stage and continues to showcase and support solo artists and their transformational work, such as, Margo Gomez and her production of Los Big Names."
Sponsors of the event include food by Grey Dog, soda by GuS (Grown Up Soda), and dessert by Blue Marble Ice Cream.
The All For One Theater Festival presents extraordinary solo shows together with workshops and panels to spark the creation and appreciation of transformational solo performance. The festival is a curated gateway to a community of performing and teaching opportunities that AFO has begun, and will continue, to build.
