It's the sad state of affairs that kids these days know more about Snookie then they do about Abigail Adams. When writer/performer/historian Amy Simon's daughter announced she would do her women's history project on Cher, it prompted Simon to create this fascinating and funny solo performance. Told through the eyes of a modern single mother, the show employs multimedia, audience interaction and storytelling to bring to life the amazing women who made or are making history. Audiences ages 10 and up will be entertained while learning about the accomplishments of such movers and shakers as Abigail Adams, Bella Abzug, Shirley Chisholm and Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Eleanor Roosevelt, Golda Meir and more.

World of Theater Explored in The Fool and the Red Queen

Full Price:
$25.00
Our Price:
$12.50

In the latest comic meditation from renowned playwright Murray Mednick, The Fool and the Red Queen experiments with archetypes to explore human nature and the processes of theater. A struggling actor named Gary finds himself at a nightmarish audition where the audience discovers the magical ability of the theater to create new realities -- in this case, a darkly funny and improvised play-within-a-play similar to Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and Marie and Bruce. Driven by poetic impulse rather than linear storytelling, The Fool and the Red Queen is a ruefully funny, lyrical look at the theater and the natural elements that drive us all. Learn More

Excellent ESSENTIAL history, presented with some humor.
Should be Obligatory viewing for Boys & Girls of ALL ages.
"If we do not learn from our history, we are doomed to repeat it"
We have access to ALL info today and yet we are unaware of how
VERY recently more than 51% of our total population painfully, over
time, has acquired ALMOST equal rights. Great Show and an easy way to acquire an education...

My husband and I both learned a lot and enjoyed the show immensely. It is more of an entertaining "class" than a performance per se, but well worth it. Take a young person, they deserve to know and could even be inspired!

Amy Simon is brilliant - one of the best shows I have seen. Everyone needs to experience this theatre presentation of our "History of Women" who did so much for the present day woman!

This play, presented by the actor Amy Simon, should not receive anything less than a 5 Star rating. Amy is the power behind this whole history lesson & how she so successfully gets the point across to the audience. Amy is PRICELESS.

This one is definitely a MUST SEE!

I have no idea how this show received the 4.8 rating it had when I purchased tickets for my 17 y/o daughter and myself. I had recently seen the one woman show "Yes She Did" from Goldstar with the same 4.8 rating and LOVED it! So I had my hopes set high for another one woman show covering women in history. Sadly, it fell way short of my expectations. My daughter said it was less entertainment than her Women in History class she's currently enrolled in at school. Felt more like a classroom than a performance. Very one note and unentertaining.

Description

She's History! The Most Dangerous Women In America, Then and Now… a solo show presented by It Ain’t No Fairy Tale Productions, plays at The Lounge Theater in Hollywood.

When her ten-year-old daughter came home from school one March stating she was planning on doing her Women’s History Project on Cher, Writer/Performer and Cultural Herstorian Amy Simon knew something needed to be done.

From Nancy Pelosi to Abigail Adams, She's History! …. is chock full of stories, scenes and revelations, seen and told through the eyes of a modern single mother who finds the funny as she struggles with raising girls in today’s challenging world.  She's History! employs history, multi-media, audience interaction and good old fashioned story telling to show women then and now;  like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony who multi-task--just like today’s mom--running the house, fixing dinner and corralling the kids, all while working on the Fourteenth Amendment. See and hear about Bella Abzug, Shirley Chisholm and Sojourner Truth, Maria Shriver, Eleanor Roosevelt and Golda Meir, Bloomers, Suffrage, Maternal Profiling, Seneca Falls, Abolition and more! It’s all there in a fast paced hour long GALA-PALOOZA, Honoring Female America.

The show is directed by Richard Kuhlman, who also directed writer/performer Simon’s Cheerios In My Underwear which holds the record as the longest running solo show in Los Angeles.  Kuhlman’s many other credits include Regretrosexual, Of Mice and Men, Pounding Nails In The Floor With My Forehead, and the Ovation nominated Non-Vital Organs.                                   

Simon has been performing her unique brand of herstorical entertainment all over Los Angeles in theaters and story salons and is a frequent commentator and guest on local and national radio.
