IAMA will present a special pre-festival engagement of two solo shows, both written and performed by IAMA ensemble members, before they head out to the 2022 Edinburgh Festival Fringe this August.
Drew Droege will again direct I HATE NEW YORK, a “gaytastic” comic solo play written and performed by quick-witted and self professed rage-a-holic Tom DeTrinis; I Hate New York received its virtual premiere courtesy of IAMA last season, with the Los Angeles Times calling the actor “a gifted, fearless, bawdy raconteur in the choleric model.”
HOT DOGS & TEARS is a darkly hilarious, autobiographical snapshot of the American South, written and performed by reformed redneck and stand up comedian Melissa Stephens and directed by Deanna Cheng; The Moveable Fest says that “Stephens shows off a sharp comedic mind.”
I Hate New York @ 7pm
Hot Dogs & Tears @ 8:15pm
