10 DAYS
Written & Performed by Vanessa Hidary, Directed by Kimberly Faith Hickman

December 3, 10 – 8pm & December 13 – 10pm

A soloNOVA Arts Workshop

There's a reason some journal entries should remain private, but Vanessa Hidary bares her soul with dark humor and brutal honesty. Between wine, spin class, coffee with mom, and OkCupid, it's hard to find time to think, let alone create art, but the Hebrew Mamita expertly crafts a poignant and hilarious story of living and loving in New York City.MORE INFO...

Tickets $20 in advance / $25 at the door

"Raw strength, sheer vulnerability, witty charisma, thug stance passion, rose-petal fragility, good-girl-gone-bad, or bad-girl-trying-to-stay-good, Vanessa Hidary aka The Hebrew Mamita embodies it all and then some" – Black Star News

JUST SOUTH OF RENOWN

December 7 – 8pm & December 8 – 3pm

A soloNOVA Arts Workshop

Before there was the instant fame-machine of X-Factor, America's Got Talent, or The Voice, Jason Downs dreamed of being a superstar. Once a child-star on track for fame and fortune, appearing in feature films (Hair Spray, Clara’s Heart with Whoopi Goldberg) and topping the charts as a country /hip hop recording artist, Jason Downs had and lost it all. Join him as he sings, dances, and shares his giddy rise to fame and hard-luck fall from grace.MORE INFO...
