The annual Logan Festival of Solo Performance, presented with generous support from the Revada Foundation, will run at 1st Stage from July 13-23, 2023. This innovative festival will gather celebrated solo performers from across the country for two-weeks of performances, workshops, discussions, and events. The main stage festival schedule features:

Not My First Pandemic

Written and performed by César Cadabes

Directed by Kat Evasco

Join Cadabes on a transformative journey from Hawai'i to San Francisco, where he discovers his most empowered self and finds a community that helps him survive the AIDS pandemic and thrive during the COVID crisis. This inspiring tale weaves self-love, communal bonds, romance, and political activism into a testament of resilience in the face of adversity. Recipient of the All About Solo Critics' Choice Award -United Solo Festival, 2021

Mr. Yunioshi

Written, directed, and performed by J. Elijah Cho

Mickey Rooney's infamous performance as Mr. Yunioshi in ‘Breakfast at Tiffany's’ is often pointed to as the most egregious example of yellowface in the movies. His over-the-top characterization is cringeworthy. By flipping the script and casting himself as Mickey Rooney, J. Elijah Cho offers a hilarious and poignant exploration of identity, culture, and the legacy of yellowface representation in Hollywood. “Underneath the non-stop laughter though, there’s a message about the importance of Asian representation in film and television.” -FringeReview, 2019
