Johnson's Oblivious to Everyone Returns for Dec. Extension

Oblivious to Everyone, a social satire performed and written by Jessica Lynn Johnson, has extended at Theatre Row's Studio Theatre (410 W. 42nd St.).

After a successful run at the 2006 New York International Fringe Festival, the show transferred Off-Broadway for a run from October 27th through November 18th.  It will now play from December 1st through December 16th.

Directed by Christopher Sorensen (Americana Absurdum), Oblivious to Everyone is a "one-woman schizophrenic comedy" written and performed by Jessica Lynn Johnson and directed by Christopher Sorensen.

Oblivious To Everyone "explores the media's portrayal of and influence on the style and psyche of the modern woman. The play centers around the character of Carrie, a self-proclaimed smut-aholic and avid talk show watcher, who is seeking psychiatric evaluation after repeated complaints from friends and family about her alleged multiple personalities. Rapidly flipping identities like TV stations, the audience will discover just how oblivious this Paris Hilton wannabe really is."

Johnson received her BFA in Theatre Performance from Missouri State University, where she was granted both the John Goodman and Kathleen Turner talent scholarships. At Harvard, she studied with Yuri Yeremin as part of the Moscow Art Theater's Stanislavsky Summer Academy Program. She has guest starred as Beverly on "One Life To Live."

Tickets are $15. Visit www.ticketcentral.com or call (212) 279-4200. 75 minutes with no intermission. Appropriate for ages 17 and up.
