Liz Anderson’s “The One Woman No Show” will be returning to The Crowd Theater for it’s highly anticipated third run. OWNS is a cold-read solo or duo play featuring a brand new actor every performance.
During each performance of the One Woman No Show a different performer and play is featured, with each piece being revealed to the actor at the perfect moment: that night, lights up, in front of an audience. Actors will cold-read selections from a show written especially for them, featuring monologues, audience interaction, charity challenges, pantomime, and improvisation. Past shows have featured plays with titles like "Captain Tibbet and the Sea, That Destroyer," "Unicorn High School," and "Improvised Grizzly Man." Past performers have included SNL Writer Katie Rich, former Second City performer and teacher John Hildreth, and Second City Mainstage performer and BET writer Shantira Jackson.
The One Woman No Show will host its third season on Mondays in July at 8PM at The Crowd Theater in historic Buena Park. The current performer lineup is as follows:
July 3 – One Woman No Show: The Play featuring Brianne Fitzpatrick (Performer, iO Chicago, ComedySportz Chicago), Zheryk Badugu (Performer, iO Chicago), Ben Larrison (Performer, iO Chicago, #SquirrelTruth), Bethany Remely (Performer, iO Chicago, ComedySportz Chicago), Lizzie Daniels (Performer, iO Chicago)
July 10 – Sarah Shockey (Performer, Podcaster and Cartoonist: iO Chicago, The Shock-Ts, Marty and Sarah Love Wrestling)
July 17 – Becca Brown (Actor and Comedian – School of Rock, Jenna Roxy and the Church of Modern Love)
July 24 – TBD “SPECIAL SECRET GUEST”
The actors in this production of The One Woman No Show are of a variety of ages, genders, performing styles, and experience levels. We cannot emphasize enough how little the performers know what is going to happen to them--no one knows what will come next!
The shows creator Liz Anderson is a writer and comedian living in Chicago, IL. She is the writer and director of The One-Woman No-Show, now entering its third season. Liz's writing has been a featured prize winner at the Mary Scruggs Works by Women Festival, and has appeared online in publications such as The Toast. She is a member of the ComedySportz Ensemble, the Playground Theater Incubator Team "Regular Girl," and is a member of the ensemble Baby Wants Candy, The Improvised Musical With Full Band.
The Show’s Producer Oliver Berger (FRIENDS: The One Where They Sing!, 3 Blocks From Broadway, Gotcha Covered) Said “The way Liz can both mess with the performers and at the same time write a show that is designed to highlight that week’s guests strengths is truly unlike anything I have seen before. This is a refreshing change to the One Woman Show Format that truly feels like it’s own unique monster!”
