The Party House

Company or Group:The Runaways Lab Theater Show: The Party House

Director: olivia Lilley

Run Dates: September 2015 Run Location: Private Home, Pilsen, Chicago, IL Role: Odette

This show was amazing, challenging, messy, beautiful and cringey. There was an intimacy, certainly, in the 15 person audience, especially when you were presented with full fledged party scenarios and semi-nudity in close range. The show was immersive and dynamic, and there will never be anything quite like it. I worked with the writer, Olivia Lilley, as she wrote the script that chronicled a few years of her college experience. This would eventually become a trilogy of plays, including A Haunting in Pittsburghe and She <3’s New York. While I helped workshop and read the plays several times over time, we never produced further renditions of the works with me involved. I hope they get marvelous productions all over the country, when the time comes :).

The show was choreographed by Cheryl Nowlin and the photographs are by Matthew Gregory Hollis.
