New York City
The Emmy-nominated ”American Horror Story” star rounds out her trilogy of autobiographical solo shows.
Emmy nominee Naomi Grossman, best known for her role as Pepper in Ryan Murphy's hit television series American Horror Story, will bring her new solo show, American Whore Story, to the Skylight Theater in Los Angeles. Grossman will offer four performances at the LA venue between June 1 and June 22.
Described as an "irreverent love letter to AHS fans and the dubious art of self-compromise," American Whore Story is Grossman's third entry in her trilogy of solo shows, following Girl in Argentine Landscape and Carnival Knowledge.
According to press materials, the show "reveals [Grossman's] history of hustling, from her compromised love life to her compromising odd jobs…American Whore Story takes its audience on a transformative trip to Burning Man, an acid trip to a 60's Rat Pack rager, and along Grossman's circuitous, albeit hilarious, triumphant pre-'Pepper' trip to #1 on IMDb."
The creative team includes composer Stefano Tomaselli, video designer Jakob Peter Konrad, projection designer Gabrieal Griego, hair and wig designer Brandon Liberati, and makeup designer Sara Lipetz. Richard Israel directs.
