Television Host Julia Sun Brings Solo Show to 2016 FRIGID New York Tonight

FRIGID New York presents ACUTE... GIRL, a CMC Theatrical production written and performed by Julia Su and directed by Christine Renee Miller, running tonight, February 17, through March 3, 2016.

This winter season, the FRIGID Festival presents ACUTE...GIRL, a heartbreakingly hilarious one-person show about every girl's insecurities. How much bullsh*t is a girl willing to put up with just to have nice things to wear and attention from other people? For an average looking (and kinda nerdy) teenager, what could possibly go wrong when she's caught between amateur modeling gigs and mail-in beauty pageant?

On the production team are: Jolynn Carpenter, Joanne Groshardt, Tim Schuebel and Michael Walton.

Performances: Wed, 2/17 at 7:10pm; Sun, 2/21 at 1:50pm; Thu, 2/25 at 5:30pm; Tue, 3/1 at 7:10pm; Thu, 3/3 at 8:50pm at The Kraine Theater | 85 East 4th Street, New York, NY 10003. Tickets ($18) are available at www.horsetrade.info. $15 tickets are available to students, military personnel and seniors. $15 early-bird tickets are available for all purchases made before 2/15. Group discounts are available. Contact the Box Office for details.

Julia Sun is a TV personality, host and news anchor. A native of Silicon Valley, she was an engineer and investment banker until someone in a West Village bar told her that, unlike what her parents said, hosting television show is also a real job.

Julia currently understudies veteran TV host Jane King (ex-CNN) as part of LilaMax Media in Times Square, NYC, where she can be seen on more than 50 ABC, NBC, FOX and CBS affiliate stations across America. She's also a correspondent at Ebru TV (Dish Network & RCN Cable). She began her on-air career hosting nationally syndicated lifestyle show and interviewing celebrities on the red carpet.

Since the rebellious age of 25, theatre has become Julia's guilty pleasure at night. Her Off-Broadway credits include Den of Thieves (written by Pulitzer winner Stephen Adly Guirgis), Race Music and Los Banditos. She has also carried roles in many timeless musicals regionally (My Fair Lady, Evita, Miss Saigon, South Pacific, etc.).

Julia is a proud alumna of the College of Engineering at Cornell University. For more about Julia, go to www.juliasun.tv.
